..and hope they listen to players features needs much more.
Ok, that's a little confusing, but if I'm understanding you correctly, my response would be that different players have different needs, and as Abacus points out, your needs as a 'pro' may be completely different than the needs of your average 'home player', and if the 'pro's' only make up a tiny percentage of the Arranger market, who do you think Yamaha is going to listen to? Just sayin'.

Most need features like on the S970, BJK9, Pa 900and others,
are for pro or home user and are just logical everyday improvements like a larger Tilt display, touch screen, adjustable text size on MFD, a revised redesigned MFD that can save much more info including transpose & reg, better keybed, front dual USB, sliders, etc,...nothing that fancy just common things that most any level player would agree with..just sayin'...
