But this is like saying that, because, in the distant past, a 'sports car' was the only vehicle that could go 70MPH, ANY vehicle nowadays that can go 70MPH can be labeled a 'sports car'.
I just feel that for a MODERN arranger to qualify as a 'workstation', it should have MODERN workstation capabilities, not those from several generations ago...
