Oh, and I'm curious.... Why NOT take your T2 out....? Seems like a waste of money to go and get TWO more keyboards to do what your T2 already does BETTER.

Maybe an M-Audio 88-note controller if you GOT to have a secondary keyboard, but IMO, neither of your choices hold a candle to what the T2 already does. You don't HAVE to use the arranger features, you know!

Using ONE piece of kit for ANY situation is kind of my ideal (as long as that one piece sounds as good as possible), and saves you an enormous amount of time learning to program another keyboard, plus, if anyone doesn't turn up, you STILL have the arranger functions to fall back on.

Take two non-arrangers, and you are kind of stuck....
