I sequenced many songs using the on-board sequencer in Yamaha boards - it really is a snap, especially if you just use a style template, or just the stlye drum part.
I found the Roland very confusing, but that's just me.
I agree with Diki though. If you are computer savvy, the software systems and large screen seem to be the way to go. I just never had the time to learn that process.
