Well, Fran you can hardly blame Craig for stating the EXACT same thing you say about your G1000!

Craig, do you find that MOST arrangers are a bit to 'dry' for you, or is it just the E80? I had exactly the opposite experience when I first got my G70, way too much reverb... What's with that European (not English!) fetish for sounding like you are in a huge ballroom..??!!

One thing I am very careful about is to not voice the arranger for what would seem to be the correct amount of reverb when you listen to it at home. Once you gig out, you have to factor in the sound of the room you play in, also. If it sounds perfect at home, or in the studio (small, dry rooms, and you sitting VERY close), it's generally going to sound TOO ambient once you play in a decent sized room.

Just my opinion, though, but next time you are in a medium to large-ish room, put on an SMF and walk to the back of the room. Unless you are VERY loud, it will sound a lot more spacious back there.
