Diki's advice is exactly what I explained to Steve when he came into my store. I explained to him that the Triton is great if you have the knowledge and the time to record every track you would need for your song. You would have to record a drum track, then a bass track, etc. etc.
The arranger on the other hand would allow you to just get your idea down quickly and easily and especially if keyboard isn't your main instrument, you wouldn't have to be a great drummer to record drums, a bass player to record bass, etc. etc.
I also told him and showed Steve the negative of the Korg Triton piano sound compared to the Roland piano sound.
Usually, my Trition, Motif and Fantom customers are not my guitar player/piano player/ singer/songwriter customer. These are usually the arranger customers.
It's interesting to note that at this years NAMM show the product manager from Korg for pianos and arranger keyboards is trying to get the word arranger out of the korg advertising and replace it with the word "songwriters keyboard". This sort of sums it all up!
