The most important arranger keyboard considerations for me are: Sounds, styles, user friendly navigation, & professional-type chord recognition.

The Tyros is the big WINNER for me here, but then again my LAST name starts with a Y also, and the Tyros was produced in the Country my ancestors came from: China!

Previous to the Tyros, the Technics KN5000 was my arranger of choice. Great sounds (for its time) and terrific arranger features.

My first arranger was the Roland RA-800 (module version) of the G-800. I can only tell you that I DON'T recommend ever purchasing a tabletop MODULE version of ANY arranger keyboard because of inconvenient button access & screen view limitations. I've since learned that a full function arranger KEYBOARD is the BEST way to go.
