I have to agree. And all this comparing of arrangers gets very boring to me. A great player can make any arranger including the cheaper Casio models sound just fantastic. Don't forget it is all about musicianship. I don't take much notice of SMF playback comparisons. SMF files always sound best on the sound source they were developed on. They can be tweaked to bring out the best of any keyboard.

And I like the value that Casio have always provided. As they continue to get better it makes it harder for the manufacturers of TOTL arrangers to keep asking over the top prices.

I also like how Casio are making their mark with weighted actions on their portable digital pianos at a weight that a human can actually easily carry around. Never underestimate Casio.
