I happen to agree with Frans on this one Diki. How many styles does one need to go thru life contented ? I sometimes have the impression folks use them like sprinkled chocolate !!!
It is like how many sounds do you really need to perform well or to make your music enjoyable. For the crowds it hardly matters , for the discerning listener, as has been proven here time and time again it is often hard to guess where the piano , sax or whatever is coming from.
The more I see these kind of discussions the greater my respect for folks like Gary, who has been faithful to his PSR3000 for donkeys years and knows how to make it sing. I guess I am trying something in that direction with my Korgs though I have to admit I moved on to the PA800, but passed at the PA3X......
My request for advice in another thread concerning the possible exchange of my PSR750 for a Roland E80 could well be seen in the same light. The Roland has 350 onboard styles, thouasands on the internet and........the indepth possibility to tinker with them to your heart's content, often in a way that it has become difficult to tell how it sounded in the first place.
In shor, I don't think STYLES should be a motive for not including Korg, or any of the four major brands for that reason.
