Actually the VA series keyboards (apart from VA3, that uses different sounds) have the best sounds I've ever heard on arrangers! A friend of mine has just bought the VA7 (he saw mine...) and he is so excited that he is thinking of using VA7 instead of his Triton in the place he works! Its sounds are competitive even when compared to dedicated synths!
And about the touch screen:Either you like or not... But you can get used to it. I'll agree about the page hold button though...
