Chas,
I agree with you completely...
That's why all this time the sound and features of my arranger (organ in the 60's - 80's) is so important. I have been in the audience and see what you mean. New years last year we went to a party and a guy played a lower end PSR (not sure which model) ..BUT he was a great singer! so all was enjoyed.
See...for me I don't sing (Everyone is so grateful!) so the entire performance is the arranger and how I play it.
I play more slow ballads, love songs etc....using lots of orchestral stuff, so the sounds have to be super (at least I like it that way).
Many of the previous arrangers I had had issues with a lot of the sounds. I believe most of that is fixed now on Korg and Yamaha arrangers...so I'm ready to jump back in!
Probably T5
