"Would I absolutely need a 76-key model? Overall, my feeling is that the answer to that is probably yes, bearing in mind that I am principally a pianist, but again, you may have your own thoughts on that." excerpt from original post.

So why would you suggest that a 76-key arranger model would be a priority, you are principally a pianist, and then state you would never play high-end piano parts on an unweighted action board?

As far as Yamaha bashing or (Roland bashing) here in this 'General Arranger Keyboard Forum', it is mainly because if you don't own the latest and newest arranger board, as most members here apparently jump back and forth to the latest board or suddenly jump up to a TOTL (Top of the Line)from a MOTL (Middle of the Line) arranger and are wowed by the newer novelties and presets presented, rather then learning how to get the most out of their original board.
