Don't take any of the comments personally Donny. I in no way intend to offend you or anyone else here as we all have diffferent reasons for how we shop.

Myself I don't have the funds to change boards often. That's why when I do purchase a keyboard I squeeze as much out of it as I can and hold on to it as long as I can. When patches start to sound old to me..., well I simply "tweek" them. I'm in a small percentage of players here too. I don't look for out of box sounds. I'm someone who likes to edit and tweek sounds. With arrangers I like to create user styles. I know that I'm not going to get the level of quality as the preset styles (but realistically it's safe to say that very few if any of us even have the gear to accomplish this).., but I do enjoy creating them.

If I was performing again.., I'm sure I'd be running through a few models myself
