Lucky,
A refreshing post, for sure!
As far as the Yammy styles go, I feel the same way. How can you try to be authentic sounding like a Trio or Quartet when the keyboard styles have tamborines, strings, two guitars, congas, claves, and a tinkling piano here and there?
Shouldn't the styles be bare bones with Bass, Drums, and maybe some guitar or organ filler. I find the Yammy styles to busy and unnatural. To that response, Yamaha came out with the T3 with sliders to make it easier to turn down the volume of style parts. But made it inconvenient as you must also press a few buttons, before you can use the sliders to do this!!!
I don't quite think Yammy get's it (at times)
