Bill take this into consideration too. There is a very big reason you don't see these arrangers having more modern styles. That's because if they started making them this way.., the keyboard makers would lose a lot of their target market.

A good example Bill is people like yourself. You own a Wersi..., if Wersi suddenly started catering to the modern market how many of their loyal customers do think would stick around? Do you think Yamaha could sell as many Tyros 3's in the states to their target market for nearly $4,000 if it was choc full of modern styles?

The fact that you can buy the Motif XS8 for less than a Tyros 3 speaks volumes.... To say it's numbers is also bullsh*& too. Arranger sales in the US make up just a small number of how HUGE the numbers really are. What arranger makers don't make in the US market they more than make up for in the Euro and Asian markets. They just got smart many years ago and realized that they can get the mature or retired home player to pay a hell of a lot more.
