Since most of the arranger manufacturers haven't really given us a sense of new offerings & technology to look forward too, the MS timing & upgrades are in a good position to make a move and get players attention to what you can do with these units versus just a plain arranger of old and realize that you wont be stuck with it when it gets older or new models come out, but instead you can just keep upgrading, making it better, & better each time the way YOU want in the future. The Open Concept is very appealing, and close to the same prices as the soon to be outdated closed units we have now unless they wake up and jump on the bandwagon also IMO.
