Well, I do admit that the Mediastation sure looks intriguing, but for some reason the Wersi just didn't do it for me.

Of course, finding either of these things near Tallahassee, FL to look at personally will be pretty much an impossibility. I can't even find a Korg PA2xPro anywhere nearby....

And yeah, I know what you mean about constantly waiting for the next generation, but it appears to me that there has been some substantial time elapsed since major releases across the board, so I'm thinking waiting a few months might be a darn good idea.

Unfortunatly I think the manufactures aim Arrangers mostly at the home market and put in sounds, onboard speakers and such to sell to them. Plug in the AC cord and play. Just like the home organs of the 60's and 70's. We just use them as professional tools.
A TOP module would be the answer and I would love it but it would probably scare away most of the home buyers because it would be "Too complicated" to hook up a midi cable, no less an outboard sound system.
