If you have version 3.0 in a G70 then there is complete compatability according to my Roland Rep. I hadn't decided if I was going to order any E80's only because of how big this keyboard is. It's the widest arranger keyboard I've ever seen and if I put in on display at my store there would be no way I can have any other keyboards on top of it because you would never be able to see the E80's display because of how far back it is.
However, after much consideration, I think I will put a couple in my store. I found a place near my PA gear where I can place the E80 by itself and it should be OK. I like the way the E80 sounds, as I've liked the G70, but the look didn't excite me enough to just go ahead and buy them when I was given a sales presentation by Travis Mitchell, my Roland CK rep. I have a store which is just 20 feet wide and with all the arranger and non arranger keyboards I sell and have on display, it is very important to me to display products as visibly and easy to demo as possible and the E80 made me crazy trying to find a spot appropriate in my store.
