Hi:

My comment is with all the respect is in regards to the review from that Pro-musician at Sweetwater.
A Pro keyboardist does NOT mean that is an Arranger PRO Keyboardist, when a Band keyboardist "try" to be an arranger player, DISASTER....simply, they have NO idea what the arranger's concept is (OMB).

I have seen it for many years at the Stores where I used to work, and at the NAMM shows, Guess why the Manufacturer's have their staff on Arrangers keyboard specialist, and for separate their Workstations specialist on the same brand??.

I have "tested" the workstation specialist of all brands when they came to the stores over the years, and honestly can tell you that 99.99 % are CLUELESS in regards to the arrangers. Many of them, made calls right there to the "office" to find answers....This guys really know their worstations (Motiffs, Fantoms, Tritons, M's, etc) and most can play VERY well, know a lot of "tricks", but it does not mean that know arrangers.

In a nutshell, like I said, with all the respect to that reviewer for Sweetwater, I do not think he is not qualify to say how "busy" or lack are the styles on ANY arranger. He may be able to judge how are the sounds, DSPs, and some other small issues.
They say the exception confirm the rule, in MY own opinion, George Kaye is one of the persons that know most Arrangers, even I know he does not play per say....but he can make you a Demo, and knows what are the features in most arrangers regarding what brand or model.

I have spend years getting to know the arrangers, and with an organist background, actually helped me, I used to program registrations then styles on the Yamaha Electones, Technics, the Susuki Hammonds, Wersi's and even the Lowreys....

Is important to say that the opinion of how orchestrated is a style either heavy or to simple is Conceptual and also depends on the NEEDS of the arranger player.

I have been performing almost 40 years in Mexico in most mayor Hotels in Acapulco, Ixtapa, Cancun, La Paz, then in the Chicago area for many years.

I perform in the Phoenix and suburban area, I use the Tyros2, Korg PA800, and at home as backup I also have the PSRS900 and next week I will have the Ketron SD5 (it will keep company to the Midjay, SD2 etc.) before I play out with it.

Peace and keep playing !
