Abacus.... how about a list of all the new features that Wersi have added to your arranger FOR FREE in the last two years?
And, by the way, if you take VERY good care of your arranger, and jump on new models as soon as they come out, you would be surprised at how little value is lost. Wasn't the last OAS upgrade over $700?
I sold my cherry G1000 for over $1200 (after eight years of use) and payed only about $2000 for it new. Not too shabby for a hardware improvement of THAT caliber (only lost $800 over 8 yrs!). Admittedly, you have to add in the cost of changing to the G70, but what is the total cost of bringing a ten year old Wersi up to completely contemporary specs?
We GET IT, abacus, you don't have to jump in every time your 'turf' is poached! But that's a $10K club you belong to. I can change my arrangers to newer models for about thirty years before I have spent THAT much!
