Starkeeper, the models you mention were not designed to be low end models...First was the G800, the top of the line 76 keys, than the G600,which was the top of the line,61 keys...followed by the top of the line G1000 that replaced the G800..
Some players are hoping Roland makes other models along the lines of the G70...a 61 key version [G50?]and a model with speakers [EXR50?]..

This is more common in the home piano division,,EM2000, EM50, EM25, and EM15..
The E series usually had/has the top of the line model..E-600 and previously the E-500..
Earlier models, E-70,E-86 and E-96.. each replaced the former model as the top of the line model..
