If the lighter stuff sounded better, Ian, I'd already be using it! If by 'hardcore' you mean me and Fran aren't willing to accept ANY compromise in the sound no matter how heavy the arranger, well, guilty as charged.

Our choices are pretty slim, anyway, if you accept that it our right to NEED a 76 for the way we play... E60, PA2Xpro, SD-1, Audya, Wersi. That's about it, isn't it? Maybe sales are low on 76's because they don't make many?

I have to rule out Ketron... too barebones editing, and nothing other than those half assed guitars any better than what I have.

I still have issues with Korg's measly two fills and a break/fill on a four variation arranger, and once again, sound-wise, I am still unconvinced there's any improvement in my G70's basic sound. DNC looks promising, but they don't have the sounds for it as refined as Yamaha's SA, yet.

Wersi... Haven't heard much in the way of styles I like, haven't heard anything other than some top VSTi's that blows the G70 away, and I haven't won the lottery!

Basically, I'm STUCK with the G70..! And still loving it! I just hope, when my back gives out finally, I am working with a good strong guitarist! Because you will NOT want to be around me if I have to use some POS lightweight just so I can lift it
