Actually, those who do not use registration memory would be a very, very small minority in my own experience, and from what I have gathered from the Yamaha forums and clinics.

It is a very efficient, and remarkably easy to use system...Roland's UPG needed workarounds, so perhaps that's why you feel Yamaha's isn't used as much.

It is.

The way I see it, if it had made that much difference to Roland users, the company's market research would have deemed it necessary to keep it.

I had it on the E-70 I owned for some time...I used it, but not that often...it's only handy in certain tunes, and I suppose, the increase in the use of SMF sort of made it redundant for many players.

I certainly can't see a PA2XPro user spring for a PA3XPro simply because it has a Chord Sequencer; so far it's the only really obvious difference....sonically, at least from the demos we've heard, they are very much alike.
