Maybe, for those that think that cost and time ARE a factor (must be nice to care about neither ), you might try looking at what, over the years, just TRYING new arrangers has cost you.

What did you pay for it, what did you sell it for...?

OK, probably not the biggest factor, but multiply that by EVERY arranger you've done that with in, say, the last three years.

Now here's the big one... How long did you have it for, and what is your time worth to you (by the hour)..?

If you are anything like me, then that is hundreds of hours spent making a Songbook, tweaking styles, importing and tweaking styles, tweaking registrations, and OTS's, re-voicing SMF's, perhaps recording MP3's...

Now THAT, if you value your time as highly as I do mine) really adds up to some SEROUS jack...

Food for thought...

BTW, I am not going to crow over Fran's decision... It was fairly obvious from the start where this was going. But perhaps, after he persuades our butterfly Donny to try a G70 again, he can buy that one off of him, and have himself a REAL backup to the G70

I just wish I could persuade myself that having TWO G70's is worth the money... Unfortunately, I think I'm better off saving my hard-earned jack, just in case the Chord Sequencer makes a return on the NEXT G-series... (Dear God, make it so!)
