Lots of SUSTAINED voices along with lots of arranger voices...maybe will get you someday.

But the instruments Algorithms to handle polyphony will hopefully kill the notes that are least important. I know with the new OS2 Korg updated this to work better (they say)

But, I haven't tested it. :-). :-)
Maybe I will invite some friends over and we will see how many sustained piano notes (amnd other layerd sounds along with them) we can get going along with the most complex styles?

Ha, Ha....
I would be ready for the nut house!

I would not buy another keyboard.
If I were not limited to the choices you provide, I personally would like to have a module, or two, based on the technology and features of any of the boards mentioned above in addition to some not mentioned, e.g. the Ketron Audya and Roland G-70 or E series. In that way I could have the benefits of an arranger board along with any size-feel-weight controller (I have several) that I choose for a specific gig.
Ciao,
Jerry

Not a chance, Mr9000...

There are many things I DO envy on other arrangers, but polyphony isn't one of them...

Without giving up my G70, I would LOVE to have the T3's guitar section, the PA2Xpro's sampler, and those wonderful SA2 voices. But I couldn't give up my G70's wonderful piano, drums and B3 (amongst many other OS things like the Makeup Tools) to get them...

This is why I'm so mad at the manufacturers for not standardizing the arranger codes so you could MIDI two together. Dumb, just plain dumb! Don't they WANT to sell more arrangers? I honestly think that if you could easily link them together, most of us here would have at LEAST two, and Donny would have them ALL
