I'd have to say that now acoustic sounds are about equal on both arrangers and synths (they weren't in the past). However arrangers still do not compare well against a synth for (synth) sounds. So don't let all the negative stereotypes lead you to think that arrangers are just for home use. I'd use a PSR-3000 on stage just as quick as I'd use a Motif ES, Fanton X, and so on. One thing I'd have to say to correct a person who posted before who said arrangers have a larger display. That's not true. The Korg Trinity,and all Trition (minus le series) have large displays. The Roland X series (minus the Xa) also have large displays, for some reason Yamaha and Kurzweil are staying behind here and still using the smaller display.

read my post.
if you read the beginning of my post it says-
"In general(again in GENERAL)".
wkstations have more sequencer and sound editing power than arrangers IN GENERAL again(doesn't matter if it's acoustic or synth sounds).as I said there are exceptions.

pro arrangers are not for home use.they are made to gig (ideal for OMB).
all workstations don't sound better than arrangers.(esp- with newer larger mem ROMPLERs.your TYROS is a decent board.you could pick up a used wkstation than selling it.

don't forget major advantage of the arrangers-easy song creation.
