Isn't the Wersi a bit of a price issue too...I was looking at both an abacus duo pro and a MS 76Pro - opted for the MS and so far so good...Price of the MS siginificantly less than Wersi...

The Abacus Duo Pro isn't a fair price comparison because it has two keyboard manuals instead of one. A standard Abacus is about $7,500.00 USD. The Abacus Duo Pro is significantly more expensive especially if you get the 25 note pedal board and expanded sound banks. The Wersi Ikarus is a better comparison, it has 76 keys and is around $5,500.00 USD.
The price of the Lionstracs is much less than the Wersi Abacus but there are some major differences in function and sound. Which one is best for you depends on your budget, needs, and technical ability.
The Mediastation X-76 has no equal in its price range because it's the only Open Ended arranger/workstation that's less than $5,000.00 USD.
