Exactly, Donny. As long as you can use the more modern tools for working with SMFs, particularly the Mark/Jump stuff, the line between the two systems gets blurrier and blurrier.
Somehow, mysteriously, a lot of 'arranger mode ONLY' players forget that they ARE playing SMFs, just really short, pretty dumb ones! It takes their CONSTANT input (my pet peeve!) to turn it into something that isn't grindingly repetitive (something you can achieve with an SMF with ease).
BOTH systems have their strong and weak points, but choosing ONE railroads you, no matter which one it is...
STYLE REPETATIVENESS is one of the biggest downfalls of playing an Arranger KB .....isn't this what the NEW Ketron AUDYA is trying to eliminate so that these continuances are somehow changed with the chord structure & variations & bass lines etc, as the song progresses?
If they successfully achieve this they could leave others in the dust unless other manufacturers are already on the ball doing just that.
I for one am hoping for that.
