Maybe it's just me, but I find arranger playing exciting and limitless. There are so many songs I do that are in NO WAY repetitive in chord structure or theory. When you utilize all the different variations/ending/intros/multi-pads, etc into a song, it is just as lively as other means of conveying a song to the audience.
