This reminds me of when I bought one of the first G70s, I was so excited, finally Roland has come to beat up all the other guys with a keyboard that had it all.
Well mine was with the first OS, and I was greatly disappointed, I had spent almost $4000 with taxes from a piano shop who did not have it but was able to sell them.
I hated it, but with time Roland put out some updates, and that board came alive. I would probably still have one but a offer I could not refuse came in and I had to let it go.
I guess you can also think of it as a car. How many cars are released and then a recall or update is needed so it doesn't blow-up or brake fail or something, that seems to be ok when you spend $35,000 on a car?
I know almost 3 years for a keyboard to come out you would think everything would be finished, I can't argue that point, but us Italians work slow, but so far we do pretty good.
The G70 was made in Italy
The PA2xpro and PA800 are made in Italy
So in time.
I'm sticking with it, I also hope Roland will come out with their successor to the G70, and then we can have a party.
Funny I have people come in and play all 3 and I will get a different favorite every time, no clear winners, it's completely personal taste. (and available money)
