Everyone is saying that they design these for the hobby player who can't really play. I don't get that. Why would they put these extra 90% of the features on here that a hobby player who can barely play will NEVER even know what they even are, much less invoke them? Surely a big part of their consideration is people like us.

And to have a key feature on an arranger and then REMOVE it in the next model? And in anyone in their right mind would NOT remove it? I don't get it.

And as for a vocal harmony button light, wouldn't a hobby player, at home playing for his dear little wife, want to know whether the button is invoked or not?

You have R&D departments whose sole job is to design the best machine they can. You have all these gee whiz features and basic, KEY features are somehow overlooked or REVERSED model to model? It doesn't make sense. Except that the dollar always prevails... it surely has to do with dollars. Surely they can't be this stupid.
