KN_FAN,

I fully understand your situation. If one has limited time per week, then one must get an instrument that has all the sounds already ready for use and tweaked to perfection by professionals who get paid to do this job.

That is the reason I value high-end arrangers. Now I am thinking of to start using VSTi. These are software that give you quality sounds in the studio.

In the future, I would assume that software instruments would replace hardware instruments for quality sounds. The only thing I am waiting for is VSTS: software styles.
