Ian.., don't look it it as a arranger vs workstation. Look at FEATURES compared to cost. TAKE IT ALL INTO CONSIDERATION. Some budget workstations offer just as much if not MORE than semi-pro arrangers.

Ian if you think that workstation users are spending hours to create their music you're dead wrong. Workstation users are just as quick to pop out a tune. It doesn't take long to create multiple versions of patterns on a workstation and chain those together. You make song creation on a workstation sound like it takes forever to get something done when that's just the opposite
