One thing you have forgotten, maybe?
Arrangers are played by MANY older people and just folks of all ages that want to play Home On The Range! They do not want or could grasp any of the complex features, programming and learning curve of a Motif XF, Kurzweil PC3K etc.

The arranger is here to stay.
If you are heavy tech. and PRO player..just move on to a Motif XF..leave behind the true style playing machines. I think the home keyboard is very well received?

When refering to styles, it would be better to call it something else...AH...Yamaha did...Patterns, Sections etc. So did Kurzweil and Korg. Actually I think in the PRO board market Karma is very creative. One of my close friends has a M3 and the Karma is pretty cool. But there is a learning curve.

Remember there is 2 Lee's on here. I am Lee S. not Leezone.
