Korg is already doing this with their PA2XPro...it even has 76 keys...you must have one of these, don't you?

Generally, and this has been my own experience, both in retail and as a clinician, most arranger buyers don't use the synth programming part of the instrument...they just want terrific presets...same goes for the style making features...hardly anyone uses them, unless they are shown how, via a clinic or a tutorial DVD.

The buyers for arrangers, and workstations are different most of the time...not always, but enough to keep manufacturers making both.
