You don’t know what you got until its gone, and then find out the grass is not always greener over the hill, so consequently you wish you had never moved.

Presumably because they were swayed either by some person or persons on fora such as this or, most likely, by manufacturer's blurb which turned out to be not quite up to expectations.
Hi Diki, mine was the KN7000. Technics stopped producing. I prefer a brand with a future. When I get round to updating my Korg, hopefully all the styles I've collected & created will work on the next generation of Korg , they'll probably need tweaking, but all would not be lost. Didn't see much future in continuing on with Technics, even though I owned 6 of them over the years.
best wishes Rikki

So very true.
This is definitely in my case. I got the 800 and gave up too quickly because of my heavy play load and time constraints on learning a new OS. However, the little time I had it was impressive. After a coule weeks gone and playing my PAST board, I realized I needed to get the 800 back and make it work - I am so very glad I did
I cannot see going any other route at this time.

By definition, if you are not playing your favorite now, you gave it up for something you like LESS. Why would anyone want to do this?
I find this to be a simple answer[in my case]...The G1000 was my favorite for what it did...Why I changed?...Added features that I needed ..other than sound/styles/and get around convenience...I needed a mic input and harmonizer with effects.[of high quality]....carrying the Digitech etc was not the answer....The G70 was...
Now it would take a doozy of a board to make me sway from the G70..they haven't made it yet..

Seems mostly everyone dumped the G70 because it was too heavy.

Ian I hope Roland is READING & LISTENING to the public outcry on this and really looking into the weight issue & bring it down to a comfortable transportable unit for the everyday in the trenches performer. Otherwise they already have most features down pat!
