With all due respect, I will "EQ" and compress to an accoustic space. To have a "one sound fits all" approach assumes that the keyboard will always stay in the same acoustic space (ie. a studio, home, or permanent club gig) and that that space was determined at the factory.

Obviously, one can fine-tune the overall sound with the external mixer but that's hardly the solution to problem individual sounds.

You're correct that TOO much control in the wrong hands can be dangerous, but for a professional, that should not be a problem. I say, the more control, the better. You can always choose not to use it.
