Not very often I agree with you Fran, but you're right. My PSR-S910 takes the place of several "pro" keyboards, drum machine, bass pedals, sequencers, four effects processors...at one time, I was surrounded by gear; now all I need is a Yamaha PSR-S910, a 25 lb arranger, that easily rivals any TOTL made today.

I, for one, do do not miss the maintenance, the need to always own a van or truck, the multiple trips back and forth to the latter, as well as the reliability issues of older gear that I never have to deal with with my arranger.

I still think a TOTL/MOTL arranger is the best kind of instrument for my gigs, and especially so with instruments like the Tyros4 or S910, that easily sound as good or better than any workstation or synth/piano/organ of yesterday or today.
