Makes you wonder, though, what someone expects from an arranger under half the price of the PA800...?

Personally, I thought the modern styles on the GW-8 (which has much in common with the Prelude) were very good, but that much of the basics needed tweaking... Not that's it's that hard on a Prelude (probably still easier than most, despite not having the G/E series' touch screen), but still necessary, IMO.

But if you want a lot of rock and dance styles, I think the Prelude/GW-8, especially at THAT price, is pretty good.
