I hear ya, Lee...you also make a good point.

I need a lightweight arranger because I'm moving gear by myself and anything over 20-25 lbs is not "portable" in my opinion.

If all my playing was at home, or in a studio, I'd probably get a CVP-409, but still keep the S900 in case I do get an occasional outside gig.

Instruments of 40-45 lbs in a decent road case top out around 60 lbs or so; not much joy dragging one of them from gig to gig...certainly not for me.

The S900/S700 or an E-50/60 make arranger playing much easier for those on the go....and they have built in speakers.
