If they do outsell Yamaha, the more power to them Fran.

Unfortunately, they do not make any arrangers with enough professional features to compete with the high and mid models of Yamaha and Korg, and at one time, Roland.

Their business model is similar to Yamaha's and obviously works alarmingly well, and I'm sure, with their clout, they could easily break into the mid to high end arranger market with ease, and really be competitive.

Again, competition always makes companies sit up and take notice, and we the players/users/consumers always benefit greatly.

Truthfully, I was disappointed that Roland left the market...there's nothing stopping me from buying a Roland if I felt it would benefit my kit...I'm not limited to what brands I buy for personal use...just the brands I demo.

Personally, I'd be surprised if they go back to TOTL arrangers akin to the G-70/G-1000...more than likely, their stage pianos will take on more arranger-like features.

But, if you have an "inside source" that says they'll make one, it must be true. Right?
