Yeah the rep was right. Workstations aren't for everyone. It really depends on your needs for performance and song production. However with the Triton all of your drums could have been recorded on one track. You select a track, set the loop, and then just overdub each part. Your complete drums would be on one track, bass on another, keys on the next, and so forth. My old workstation had a dedicated 8 track pattern sequencer. It was really simple (actually Korg was probaby easier). If you use the pattern track correctly it doesn't take long to construct user patterns. You can do one single variation, then copy that bad boy several times and make slight changes to each copied pattern. I know arrangers let you copy too, but I don't know of any arranger that will allow you to truly do pattern chaining like you'd find on a Yamaha Motif.
