You are partially right, Bachus, in that the Tyros4 is not specifically "aimed" at "pros"...however, that hasn't stopped many professional players from using the instrument. In fact, many pros also use it's baby brother, the PSR-S910.

Some arranger players, including pros, just happen to like a "user friendly", terrific sounding instrument and easy to use operating system.

Playing an arranger requires a different, but no less important, set of skills than it does to use a "workstation" and those who have honed these abilities to a fine edge, have benefited greatly from having an arranger under their fingers.

Yes, and just because you get paid to play, doesn't mean you are an advanced player.

Lots of players out there, with less than stellar skills, are making money, and not just on arranger instruments.

To me Pro refers to getting paid opposed to skill, all else is amateur...as in college vs pro sports..

Yep, there are lots of "amateur" arranger players out there with advanced playing skills that surpass many so called "pros".

Many of my clients are absolutely outstanding players, but earn no money from it...they play at home for their own enjoyment.

Just because you get paid, doesn't mean that you are an advanced player, although, by definition you are considered a "professional".
