All valid cmments IMHO...It really does depend on the sound you like. Or need.

We are lucky to have such great equipment by all the Mfgs..these days...they all are supeb sounding.

I am into high quality sounds that are very realistic...I play at home here..and don't need to get the floor moving with dancers...or take requests at Millers Merry Manner, or please the Bride. I want my perforances to sound more like an orchestra than a band. I want each instrument to stand out and be heard in the mix. I would rather have only 100 superb voices than 1150 with 10 good ones.

So far none of the arrangers I have had met these needs comepletely. Each has it's own strong sounds and poor ones...each has some that are done right and ones with technical problems....that you certainly can hear.

All in all pretty nice. It will be interesting to see what the future brings.
