You simply just don't love arrangers enough, or at least much as the rest of us who don't mind paying the difference to get an instrument that allows us to play "live" with a backup band without needing SMF or MP3 backing (unless we choose to use them).

Obviously you don't want to pay the price of admission to get one, so perhaps it's easier to complain and do without.

Remember, for every one person that uses the excuse that arrangers are too pricey compared to workstations not to buy, there are hundreds who simply buy the arranger and don't give a second thought about the price difference.

I'd rather be playing, rather than waiting for what's never going to happen.
