Sorry, forgot to say that i think the cost of the highend arranger keyboards is a joke. £2500 in the UK ($4500) for a G70 or PA1X Pro really is a joke. The only reason why I am contemplating an arranger keyboard is because I do not like using samples and view an arranger keyboard as having sample loops that I can pitch shift without hassle and that they are easier to use to build a sequence than the Motif etc. For synth sounds the PA1X is good but I will use vintage and other synths for the *real* synth parts and my EX5R in VL mode for orchestral lead lines.
