Diki,
Absolutely true IMHO.
A good example is when I was into buying/playing home organs..I went to the stores...spent many hours trying them, listening to demos..and found a HUGE difference in sound quality.
Some of the more well known brands really did not have the sound I liked. Wound up buying Thomas for many years..then Yamaha.
All because of sound...not features. I felt like it was my job o play it , and it was th MFG job to make the sounds.
Today we are super spoiled...my God, compared to a 1977 Yamaha organ we have tons of neat features in all arrangers.
So back to basics..If I play the new PA3 and it has the same sound problems as th PA2 had..no deal. It's got a lot to do with the music I enjoy...all instrumental no singing...so the sounds have to be top notch.
Then not sure if I will get T4 or wait for somehing new.
I will have to at that point really check te T4 for sounds quality.

I remember buying a Yamaha FS500 organ in the early 80's, thinking it would SURELY be the last instrument I ever needed or wanted. It did sound good and had many outstanding features. Only weighed 330 pounds, without the bench or leslie or dollie.
I think it listed for $16,000 BACK THEN.
All today's arrangers are tremendous bargains!
