Hi, there is another option in it's price range, the Korg PA50 (for around $995.00), it's user interface is not as friendly, but as you learned,(ask Don Mason and UD) is a great arranger, more "pro" features, like you can have 48 user styles, and also reads styles direct from floppy without loading, while in the lower price (is almost unfair to compare) you need to load ONE style at the time, (and is not easy, unlike the higher end PSRs), also only has 2 variations, one intro/ending vs. 2 and 4 variations in the PA 50.....perhaps you can twist the arm of a dealer, the slowest selling PSR1500 for about the same price of the PA50....you can get 3 intros/endings, 4 variations, user friendly interface, and almost forgot, you get a 16 track secuencer in the PA50 adn PSR1500 and only 5 tracks in the DGX. Hope it helps, this is my opinion, I been playing professionaly since 1969 and in the retail since 1980.
