by skipping on the sequencer you immediately eliminate those in the market that want an all in one solution which is i would assume a fair amount of potential buyers. The SD1 i assume had a sequnecer but no speakers so Ketron have given with one hand and taken away with the other ? It doesnt make sense to me .T2 did not get my money for that and other reasons. Whats the aditional cost in software programming to slip in a decent sequencer ? It doesnt add to the weight does it ? Just seems to me stupid not to include one . If people prefer to use a computer then they have that choice even if it had a sequencer onboard. For a family man like me where both time and space are at a premium i would only ever buy a keyboard with onboard speakers and sequencer and all editing facilities on the board not via a computer (again for time saving and convenience)

If you can manipulate and edit the SMF file onboard, then it makes even less sense to have omitted a sequencer.
