Diki.., I couldn't agree with you more man.. I have been saying arranger players have been getting the short end for years, and I just couldn't understand how everyone was just accepting it. I've been met with some hostile remarks for saying this in posts as well.

Arranger players do get JACKED when it comes down to comparing price against features. Look at the price difference of a pro arranger and a pro synth. Don't even get me started about styles--because just as much hard work goes into making the arps on a synth (anyone here ever even consider how much work it takes to get those guitar arps to sound the way they do on the Motif line???)

A Tyros 2 (online) is still going for around $3,500. Now tell me where this makes sense.... YOU CAN BUY THE TOP END YAMAHA MOTIF XS8-with Yamaha's TOP QUALITY 88 graded action keybed FOR LESS than the Tyros 2... Please tell me where in the HELL does a person have to live for that to make sense..????
