Korg do not demonstrate the PA2X using third party loops and styles, Yamaha do not load up the sampler with audio loops to sell the T3.
I'm afraid that, were there to be a REAL 'factory demo' even using a decent player, all it would likely show is just how much MORE you are going to have to do to it, just to get it to sound as good as a 'closed' arranger...
Were I Dom, to be honest, I'd leave things the way they are, and let those with more 'dreams' than a sense of reality continue to purchase the MS, and find out the expensive way how hard this thing is to use 
Me, I'd probably just suggest to anyone thinking about it that, if they haven't ALREADY created a bunch of REALLY good styles for whatever arranger they currently have, what are the odds that they are suddenly going to be able to do it with an MS? 
I disagree on NOT Demoing with standard styles, Lionstracs SHOULD Demo with their non standard styles ,its currently more a music production workstation which involves creating things yourself.
So they should demo it with music created by top musicians to show how good it can sound and what can be done with it (Have a peek at Open labs demo's)
Tough if they want a shot at the Home arranger market they should load it up with top quallity styles for all purposes and show them to the people, next to that they should demo yamaha styles (through live styler) that sound nearly as good as the styles sound on T3.
But they don't do neither of this and so they will be a niche product (which is okay since all Media stations are hand build)
Somehow they seem to be doing okay since i get the feeling that all units they produce are being sold.
