Oh well...I tried.
Suit yourself.
I really don't have anything critical to say about Yamaha, because I'm basically happy with what it does, even though it needs help from outside programmers...you are on a relentless search for perfection...all well and good, but it isn't my bag...I'm just content enjoying what I have to the fullest.
The Prelude would be a great deal with style assembly...are you saying it wouldn't be?
Most certainly, it is a wonderful tool to have on an arranger...look how crippled the GW-8 is without it.
Yamaha will certainly have an arranger in the Preludes price range with style assembly in it's new models, so it would be to Roland's benefit to add it now, or at least real soon.
Snooze and you lose.
