I recall , I read that the G70 is around 43 pounds....that is 2 and 1/2 pounds heavier than the G1000..

I guess the extra fills and on board styles, and not to forget the Mic/vocalizer...made it a little heavier..

The problem with Roland arrangers now is a lack in middle range area.

There is a top model, G-70.
After G-70, nothing at all, nothing to compite with PA60, PSR2100 or 3000.
Then, at low range, EXR series.

Roland fans waiting a good 5 octaves arranger can't buy a Roland.
Pity

Fran, is that information you have on a future 61 key version, or a hope?

So 43 lbs is still a lot heavier than the Tyros 27lbs, but at least a little lighter than the Pa1X's 45lbs (61 key version 48lbs).

I've had one double hernia (and don't want a repeat), so this is a disappointment.

Rolands marketing has been very predictable in the past. I am confident they are continuing this tradition and come out with a 61key model with speakers in the spring.
A while back there was a discusion on here about an expected new pro board from roland, and here it is. Almost as described in the previous tread
