The problem is, when new arranger products come out, they still use hand me down (Old) technology from the pro world, with manufactures charging extortionate prices for them, (Sometimes twice the price of the original keyboards their based on) just because they include Midi Loops (Styles) on-board.

High development costs and low sales numbers, its not like in half the homes there will be a totl arranger .... And modern day companies that cant live witouth making profit ... And a huge part of the potential buyers can afford these prices..
You also make it sound like there is pratically no innovation, but both Tyros5 as well as Pa4x really did make a huge step compared to their predecessors both in funtionallity as well as in sound quallity....
Makes me wonder why both these instruments sound better then current Wersi organs... Or do you think its okay to build a Ketron SD 40 module into a €45.000 Wersi louvre to have acceptable style quallity? Just ask the Solitaire why he is doing this? And he tells you that sound and style design is way more important then having high end technollogy...
