The MS has arranger features yes but it is not an instrument that 99% of arranger users could use or would be willing to put in the serious man hours to use.
Lets jump ahead for a moment and make 2 very big assumptions.
1: If in the future it comes preloaded with Styles optimised for instant use out of the box.
2: If when OS 5.0 is released, Qranger offers full arranger functions.
Then... It could easily become as good an arranger as it already is a workstation and it should appeal to users of all levels.
OS 5.0 is on the way so lets wait and see on that one. As for ready made styles... I have a solution to that, but I have yet to decide if it's worth the effort.

James.
