I share your sentiments.

Arranger technology has reached an amazing level of sophistication where they can convincingly emulate a full band under the hands of an expert player.

You have to admire the talented R&D team at Korg, Yamaha and Ketron for all the features they managed to introduce in their top of the line models.

However, you never know what surprises these manufacturers have in store.

I would like to keep my hope alive for even more innovations down the line even while realizing that we are a shrinking audience.
