As far as tabletop vrsions, ketron is the only way to go..
I am expecting a lot from the sd90
Altough its still not up on Ketrons website
And you can combine it with you favorite 88 key,
Be it Nord stage3, korg Kronos, yamaha montage, roland rd2000, kurzweil forte or kawai mp11..
You will have your favorite keybed combined with a perfect arranger..
Currently the fact that there is still no multipads on the Varranger and that i seems in a rather stale development phase is keeping me away from Varranger.
Ketron doesn't seem to have a strong presence in the US. I can't even remember when was the last time that I saw one. Looking forward to reading your reviews on the SD9. Yeah, it'd be very nice to have a strong module and be able to pick a nice keybed.
