Casio is one of the few keyboard companies putting out an excellent product at a low price. It wouldn't surprise me if they put out a quality mid-level arranger, but they would have to work a miracle to wean me off of my Yamaha PSR-S910.

They would have to have a unit with a mic input and a harmonizer.

They would have to have hundreds upon hundreds of styles to compete with the amazing variety that I have on my pen drive of styles from the PSR-9000, T1, T2, T3, purchased styles, great freebies, and styles converted from other keyboards.

Last, they would have to provide an easy to learn operating system.

I think Casio could give Yamaha a run for it's money, but I don't think they could make an arranger with the amount of styles that would get me interested in switching.

But I'd be happy for Yamaha to have some competition to keep them working hard to keep people like me aboard - especially with Technics and GEM gone, Ketron struggling with technical and other problems, Roland down and out, and Wersi in restructuring.
