Roland and Korg need to get the professional part of the Yamaha arranger market.
They are not going to do that by making another keyboard.
They have to entice customers to buy their product.
They also have to have something fresh to add to the arranger market. It would need to be marketed well.
An arranger module would be the best and most cost effective way of doing so.
If I am a serious musician with a T3 and limited money, I am not going to jump ship and put down a lot of money to get another brand unless I have developed a relationship with that other brand.

O and incremental upgrades on a new keyboard is not necessarily the best way to go. Yamaha could do that because they know the type of market they have. Korg and Roland have a more mature and discerning market. Do you think if Korg came out with a new keyboard with DNC in stead of an OS upgrade that would have gone down well with its market?
