I can tell you now...the BK 9 will have to do a lot of catching up before anyone with common sense decides that the G70 days are over...

The G70 stil remains, not just compared to the BK9, but maybe overall..the best built 76 action key, stage fiendly keyboard today..

The BK9 will still lack the superior keybed from it's "great uncle".....the touchscreen (best of all arrangers)..way superior to the BK9..The combination of touchscreen and buttons..make on the fly the best...You will have to get use to cursor enter procedures(BK9)...menu driven (although better than it's siblings).

Other than the great media player on the BK, and maybe the chord looper.....the adevantages end for the BK9..

In the real world it is a MOTL keyboard that serves as Roland's current best...

When the folks decide to dump their "old" G70's I will grab some bargains...
