Hi Donny

I do not see where the disagreeement is. Scott obviously does not think the prejudice is justified. I think I remember some of Scott's earlier posts where he used to play in a group or at least with other musicians and was concerned in that context about the image the arranger keyboards have. Anyway, there are going to be gigs that accept arrangers and those that will not. I image once the PSR9000Pro gets around, the latter group will shrink some more.

On the designer name thing, I would cover all my keyboard brand names--I mean the ones that ask for free advertising on their backs. If Roland, Yamaha, Korg, Kurzweil do not pay you to advertise for them, why do it? I find it distracting to see manufacturers names flashing in my face when I am really interested in the artist and the music.
