There are altogether too many hands on reports of the BK-7m comparing it favorably (to the point of 'indistinguishable' from a G70/E80) to Roland's last TOTL arrangers that I'm not that impressed with a bunch of naysayer posts with no history of experience.

What were these guys expecting for under a grand (I'd like to know where they are getting that $800 figure from)..? Personally, if it sounds the SAME as an E80/G70, well, we've ALL heard very good demos of what those can sound like in good hands. And we've all heard how bad they can sound in the wrong ones (just like any other arranger!)
