The Motif is not an "arranger" - I repeat the Motif is not and "arranger". I have owned three of them and they are no doubt among the tops for synth/workstation work, but their design is wrong for arranger type playing. I have also had three Tyros keyboards and now a Korg so I feel MHO has some merit.

You may be spot on tho that the Motif would be better suited for the type work methodology you use.
