Fellas.......of course there are issues with ALL Arranger KB's.....I'm fortunate enough to be able to make mostly any arranger sound decent & override all the issues and drawbacks that each one has.
Experience thru the years & a few tricks of the trade & you can gig with most units for sure...I'm glad I have two very different sounding units in the E50/S900 makes it interesting to A/B them both & of course have a backup just in case which in turn would save an emergency purchase in a tight gig schedule scenario by having a unit in the closet. At this time I'm content with what is out there and what I have weeded out so far on the market. I am also looking forward to what is on the horizon in the arranger keyboard world in the future. The word "BEST" doesn't exist anymore in the context of Arranger keyboards....just a certain comfort zone that we all have to endure & enjoy as each of us has different needs as you are very aware of. Instead what everyone should be worrying about is making your playing better & better every day because without your talent no Kb will make a difference when you play it.....enjoy what you play!

Carry On
