When weight alone dictates what you choose, and precludes many worthy entrants (T3, PA2Xpro, G70), taking a good look at how others manage the weight can pay dividends. Personally, I use dollies and leverage to make sure I NEVER actually lift the G70 in it's case in it's entirety. Place the case on a chair or raised area to get it in and out of the case, and you don't do your back anywhere NEAR the stress that pulling it out of the case on the floor....You might also consider that, in all likelihood, you regularly lift more than 45 lbs. and don't even realize it. If you have carried a child over the age of two or three, you have carried more than 30 lbs.. If you have lifted a child four to six years old, you have lifted 45 lbs.. Half of the people on this forum get as emotional about their arranger as they do their grandkids But somehow that doesn't extend to lifting them up! They weigh about the same!


My E80 weighs even more. But I have a wheeled case for it and can't see the problem. As I've said before, good, solid giggable build quality is more important to me than weight. I like my gear to last. And those kids' keyboards just don't inspire confidence when you play con brio. They're all over the place!
