Basically, about 4.5GB of styles, songs, setups available instantly (50MB internal, up to 4GB on the card, which loads just as fast). No having to load up a different set from the HD if the song you want isn't in that 210,000, involving a boatload of button presses to select.

Your entire repertoire, all available instantly. THAT'S what arranger players, doing the request thing really need. The WS is supreme in the studio, or in a tight, well rehearsed show (where we all see them), but out in the trenches of the gigging arranger player, having ALL your songs available instantly avoids those unpleasant 'quiet moments' while you go hunt your HD for the song load that contains what you want...
