You want to know what REALLY dooms the Arranger market.....BUYING ONE EVERY TEN YEARS. Innovation is driven by the competition derived from a spirited market. No company is going to spend tons of money on R&D when "influencers" are out there bashing their product and telling consumers NOT to buy until their product has reached THEIR concept of perfection.

SOMEbody has to be first, and it could very well be the guy/girl that truly loves new, fresh, innovative product and not just the guy/girl who has to be the 'first kid on the block to own one'....or it could be the guy/girl who just wants one, can afford one, and don't feel as though they owe anyone an explanation or justification...and further, don't want to be criticized for their decision. Soooo, want the industry to survive, nay, THRIVE? Get out there and buy some product. If it turns out you don't like it, send it back. The manufacturer will respond with a better product in the next generation but healthy sales will at least garantee there will BE a 'next generation'.

JMO.
