If a keyboard has less features than a Workstation and is an arranger, does that necessarily mean that it should cost more? I think that generally “arrangers” are way overpriced.
I agree totally.
Just look at all the features the Fantom X and the Motif ES have for a price that is considerably lower than the top of the range arrangers. The Fantom X7 (76 keys) is about 2450 Euros here. That is 500,- Euro less than the G-70. It is hard to imagine that the making of the styles is that expensive.
But on the other hand, you would not expect that a manufacturer in this case deliberately overprices a product. So my guess is that is has everything to do with the fact that there must be a bigger market for workstations than for arranger keyboards.
Coming to that conclusion, adding styles to a workstation (Fantom X please) seems even more logical. If I remember correctly that is also a wish of a lot of fellow SZ'ers!
