I can hardly believe my eyes... aren't you the guy that claims ALL arrangers are sold as 'home instruments'? You can't have it BOTH ways Either there IS something to a 'pro' factor, or there isn't. If there is, why don't Yamaha address it?

What happened? They put green kryptonite in your Wheaties up there? After the G1000 was a grand success, a few tiny extra pounds, and suddenly, you are all turned into weaklings?!

Thing is, most of the complaining about the G70's weight came from the PSR contingent anyway, or 61 key users. I don't recall anyone who WAS a G1000 fan suddenly turn into a lightweight keyboard fan. As I have pointed out, there are FAR better reasons for how poorly it sold than weight. Those that were hooked on lightweight arrangers weren't using the G1000 anyway. Didn't stop it from being a success...

I still believe that, if Yamaha's were marketed as poorly as the G70 was, you would be looking for other work right now. Perhaps demo-ing Korg's, and deriding anyone that made fun of their weight..!
