I think that the fact we all can use our arrangers as we choose is the key element.
True, Cassp...it is far wiser to identify with others, rather than compare.

I admire people that can sing, like you, DonM, Donny, Scott, just to name a few...and, as it's been said many times here, it is the result that matters, not the method.
However, I still prefer to work within the parameters I have set for myself; it's not that they are better (or worse) than what others use, but they are the ones that give me the most personal satisfaction.
