I think the question should be worded as “What Arranger would you use if your own arranger failed, could NOT be fixed and NO replacements were available anywhere?”

As Diki said, it would be devastating to have to change, but with no other option there would be no other choice, so here are my 2nd and 3rd choices.

2nd
CME Midi Controller, PC/Laptop, Livestyler Software, Ketron SD2 Hardware Module and various VSTi

3rd
If forced to have a Hardware Arranger then it would be the Korg PA2x, as it gives the closest in sound quality and flexibility (As far as hardware can be) to my current Wersi Abacus.

Hopefully this will bring the post back on track and get users thinking
