Yeah, that's the feeling I got. I've been looking for an affordable full-featured synth action (with aftertouch) controller with an arpeggiator, some knobs/sliders and a ribbon.

The RS-5 has everything but aftertouch and a ribbon controller so I was going to suggest that they either release a RS-5 with aftertouch (I can live without the ribbon) or add the RS-5's arpeggiator to the A-37. I have an XV-5080 so I don't need any more Roland sounds but I was about to buy the RS-5 as a controller anyway until I realized it doesn't send aftertouch... :-(

I just sent an email to Kurzweil asking if they've considered a K2600 type controller without the synth engine at a reasonable price point. It's a shame that no one seems to make just a decent synth action controller with plenty of knobs and an arpeggiator. An A-70 with a built in arpeggiator/rhythm generator would be pretty cool...
