That's all I've ever needed or wanted. I buy the new stuff to stay up with my competitors, and keep myself amused, but if it all went south tomorrow .... I'd sing, play LH bass over drum tracks and make my own chord arrangements while my (former) competitors watched my dust, crying about the state of electronics and why the new "whatchawhooziee" is falling short of their desires. 
I agree Dave, although some of us started out that way and could easily slip back into if necessary, many players are tied to the auto accompaniment or SMF and would be lost without them.
Then again...it sure is nice to have all those cool backup styles.
