I hear you Bill, but I think your sedan/jeep analogy may be a false equivalency. There's no reason the hybrid I'm proposing would not be able to have all the functionality of either (workstation or arranger). Other than cost (and I agree, that baby's going to be expensive) there shouldn't be any other limitations. Give it a 20 yr. warranty and Diki will buy one . Seriously, isn't it mostly about the software?

Another idea; sell it sans software and let the buyer select their own software package from a number of pre-programmed packages. That way the young guy can select the workstation package and just replace it with the arranger package once he gets old (and hard of hearing). I think it could work.
