Thing is, it always SEEMS as if few of us really ARE happy with our arrangers! As much as we obsess over the next 'latest, greatest', as much time as we spend arguing the merits of an arranger we don't even HAVE, seems to me we aren't that satisfied

Personally, despite it's age, I STILL haven't found another arranger with all the features I do like about the G70 (Fran's list is pretty much on the mark, although I'm not the greatest fan of the B3 section) that is improved in the sound and style department, too. So I am happy and proud to take it out every day to gigs, recording sessions, weddings, whatever, and have the public and other musicians come up to me and go 'that sounds GREAT! What is it?' and go 'what, THIS old thing? '

Got ten years out of my G1000 (although I agree, I used it more for SMF's than style use except as drums for LH bass) because nothing came out that bettered it until the G70.

Until something comes out with the Audya's great sound (I'm not interested in whether one player or style is better than another, I can pretty much judge them on the SOUND alone) but with all of the Roland's user-friendliness, sorry, still not interested.

I'm happy with what I've got...!
