Starkeeper,
When I buy an upper end arranger it's primarily for the ability to write my own styles. oddly enough the only thing I really even use from a preset style are the drums (and bass line if it's funky enough). The Tyros has a good style recorder.

I'm really keeping my fingers crossed and hoping I get to see the Alesis next week.
