That's okay buddy...I don't mind...we do disagree now and then.

Still, my opinion stands...I did think the G-70's bass and drums were the Audya's equal...they sounded just as "live" to me.

As far as buying an Audya...nope...and it wouldn't be the price...it would be the guitar mis-match that would do me in.

I'm not that dependant on having big/live sounding bass and drums...I like Yamaha's more refined and compressed quality, but I want the guitar parts in my styles to be sound natural, no matter what chords I threw at it.

It would be just as big a deterrent as having an arranger that couldn't play on bass chords.

Personally, I think you'd be very frustrated with the Audya after you had it for awhile, and wanted to customize it to your own liking, but I could be wrong.

It's too limited for my tastes anyway.
