I just knew Fran would have to stir this pot! lol

Sure glad I'm not jealous of anything out there .... and I'm certainly no hater. I'm all about the love.

The Genos can be purchased for $4000 or less...One open box went on E-bay a short time ago for $3700!...That's what I'm willing to pay or less...Harold

Is there any price for happiness?

There is a "cost" to happiness.. it is called "giving"

Sorry DNJ I can be more happy paying the lower price...My happiness would be owning and playing combined...

Harold you only live once why not enjoy..
Most could easily sell off the old gear
and buy one easily..

Fran, If it were an option...I'd probably spring for the Genos. But that would interfere with the money I'm putting aside for the G-70

Fran, My comment has nothing to do with Genos, but I have to give you credit for your tenacity when it comes to Roland products and especially the G70. You should be on their sales maybe even R&D team. I know there is not probably not another member of this forum who has been so dedicated and loyal to one brand. Well maybe Gary with Yamaha.

Genos is a great keyboard, but it is not worth $6000. It is probably not even worth $4000 (at least to me). The bang for buck is at the MOTL in all brands-the SX900, PA1000 and E-A7. Don't believe me? Here's a video that compares the TOTL Tyros 5 to the PSR-970 sending the Tyros through the 970's speakers. Result-sure the Tyros sounds a little better but $4000 better? No.



You see this with acoustic guitars as well. It's called the law of diminishing returns. With acoustic guitars the sweet spot is about the same as it is for arrangers-$1500. Just my opinion and of course anyone is free to buy what they want.

You get what you pay for I'll stop there..
