Hi Mark
Either the above , or if they have to sell it with styles, just say a minimum of a hundred or even 200, at least let you choose the genres that you want. Somebody who plays modern dance music or funk, isn't likely to be interested in Ballroom . The scope of what they include , is too wide. I 've sort of gotten over, I must have every style I can lay my hands on, even if I'd never use it in a million years.

I think the same could be said of some functions.
ie I want the top end arranger, for the quality of sound, but I may not require the harmoniser , or I may not require the sampling function, but one has to pay for it because it's included.
Some functions should be optional.

I really like what Yamaha did with their expansion packs. Not that the ones they've got suit me, but if they had them for more general use,.
