BTW, for those that think this last post was a bit schizophrenic (Don't spend your time reading manuals... No, spend your time reading manuals because osmosis doesn't work!), let me just say that reading the manual for ONE arranger every eight or ten years is a LOT easier than having to do it every year for a different one!

Intimate knowledge of ONE older arranger trumps a cursory knowledge of 'this year's model' any day, IMO.
