Amazing... Ketron is produced in Italy too and yet their development team produces the 'best' styles according to you.

Roland apparently doesn't have the quality programmers that Ketron does even though they're both located in the same Country and possibly the same city. Go figure.

And Roland hasn't offered a high end Arranger since the VA-76 came out several (3) years ago. The recently released low end EXR-3 and 5 is the best they can do for now. Maybe they've given up on the high end Arranger market altogether seeing that the VA-76 was such a sales flop for them. Too bad because competition or lack thereof is what makes or breaks the consumer.

Best regards,
Mike
