Team,

You can actually use the above as a 'template' and add the features of other keyboards following the above headings/format so it's easy to compare (either within or out of this range of arrangers).
Anyone want to add the PSR9000/PRO, 2000, WK8_SE, MZ2000, ROLANDS etc?
Just break-down the features into:
