I dont see the need for all these styles most just don't work for my needs. Too many times I hear people using the wrong styles, tempos, variations, for songs. I am also not a big fan of stripping out style parts either sought of defeats the purpose if you get my drift. Enjoy whatever you use these are just my thoughts.

Yes, Mr. Pro. I'm sure that you can whittle that down to two styles - one 4/4 and one 3/4 and do all your material.
I happen to enjoy the nuances that different styles bring out. The arrangers of 25 years ago only had 30 styles. I am happy that I have an arranger with hundreds of styles, and my audience appreciates it as well.
