I should have re-phrased that Chas...I meant that if you had a mid-priced, mid-line arranger, it would be easier for a person to change, or trade up every three years or so, and therefore get the newest sound and style engines, or improved screens, user interface, and other features that trickle down from the TOTL models.

In fact, many new things for arranger, were introduced on the PSR mid range for the last several years...USB to device was on the PSR-3000 before the tyros got it, and Audio to USB device came out on the PSR-S900,,,the S910 has an MP3 player, that is not on the T3, but will surely be on the Tyros4.

Arrangers don't have to be on the same cutting edge as computers, but they usually aren't far behind.

BTW...I played the new Nord C2....pretty impressive...the Leslie sim is one of the very best...I used it on a little jam session we had at one of the stores after hours....what a hoot it was.

If they could put a PSR-S910 arranger engine in it, it would be my next board for sure.
