..... Arrangers or Workstations, what kind you prefer or use depends what kind of job you do( producing songs, or OMB performance, playing in the band..) (of coarse I know what arranger can do, and what workstation can do, i was doing stuff on arranger that wasn't possible on workstation, and i was doing stuff on workstation that wasn't possible on arranger)
that's why I have both an Arranger and a workstation (plus my guitars,bass, accordions, software..)because I play keyboard in a band, I produce songs, I play piano, and i play arranger keyboard...
arranger is a tool for one certain job, workstation is a tool for another job...

it's like saying what is better a flashlight, or a chandelier... depends an the situation and the job adn where you are... both flashlight and chandelier produce artificial light, like Arranger and Workstation produce artificial sounds...
