I think Casio has the wherewithal to produce a pro-level arranger or any other type of synth if they wanted to. But I also believe that in order for it to be successful, they would have to start a new 'Professional' division, complete with a new name. Very few brands in the world are so identified with cheap, 'NON-PROFESSIONAL' products. Even the most un-informed non-musician in your audience would question your credibility if you showed up at the gig with a keyboard with CASIO emblazoned on the back. But ego might keep Casio corporate from ever going that route. JMO.
