I don't think it was anything inherently wrong with the BK-9...it's a great bang for the buck and seems to have all the goods necessary for a successful MOTL arranger.
I feel that most of those in the poll who expressed interest in the availability of a 76 note reasonably lightweight arranger, weren't interested enough to follow through and actually buy one.
