Dennis, I believe all three of these models have different keybeds...

For sure the Prelude and BK5 are different..(I still have both..The Prelude belongs to the band)..and if the GW8 is like the GW7 (I did own)...it is also different (more like the JunoG)..I disliked the Juno G keybed (I also owned that board)..

Also TW...In past years Roland designed and manufactured their own keybeds..

Korg and MediaStation are Fatar beds...Yamaha , I believe are made by "Mattel" grin

Old technic in a new box, this isn't the successor of the G70/E80 .
Just middle class, no league for Yamaha .

Impuls keys

Features make the league, not the price. A CS will definitely put it head and shoulders above any Yamaha. You have no idea how useful this one feature is until you have tried it.

76 keys also puts it in a different league to Yamaha.
