Fran, I only tried the G 70 once, about a year and a half ago down at Washington Music. I remember being very impressed with it, it is, after all, a Roland, and they're hard to beat. I would have bought one except for 2 reasons. The weight issue has become a big thing for me since I do over 300 gigs per year, sometimes 3 a day. And I got a really good price on a Tyros 1. When I bought the T1, I was just going to fool around with it and maybe use it in the studio. But after a week or so, I really loved it on the road and I've been using it close to a year now. But like I've said before, I still wouldn't part with my G 1000. To this day nothing has the brilliance of that board. Good luck with your final decision.

Joe
