But no styles...

You have to face it that, dollar for dollar, you get a generally better product in the WS line than the arranger, and that is due, IMO, to economy of scale. WS's outsell arrangers probably at least ten to one. Probably much more, in truth.

Arranger users have always, IMO, got the short end of the stick, but we only have ourselves to blame. We LET arranger manufacturers pawn off shoddily constructed barely toy quality keyboards on us at premium prices, and make little fuss when major features are dropped (as in style creation or my Chord Sequencer ). In all fairness, it's difficult to justify some of these features if no-one uses them... That's got to be how the manufacturer feels. It is well known that only the tiniest fraction of arranger players ever create their own styles. Why spend a fortune in R&D if no-one uses it?

At least we ought to be grateful that they provide ANY path to user style creation, given how few actually DO...
