First things first, the controversy will go on between what arranger is better, what is better bang for , etc etc. for as long as there’s a SZ, people and arranger keyboards.

My 2 cents and only my opinion for whatever it’s worth. I don’t know anyone who paid even close to the $6000 price tag, it’s more like in the $4000 price range. That’s not to say someone has not paid close to the $6000 price tag. I will say this too that audiences may not necessarily know the difference between a MOTL and a Genos. For me as a musician there is nothing like sitting behind the keys of a Genos and hearing the sound coming from that arranger. The bonus for me is I can play piano solo on it if needed (76 keys) no it’s not like playing a real piano but it can and does do the job.

One more thought when I bought the Genos 2 years ago my wife took a look at it and said why this one it looks like all the other arrangers you’ve owned I can’t understand why you have to keep buying these keyboards............then after I turned it on and played it she said WHOA, this is the best sounding one yet.

Yup there’s a butt for every seat and there’s nothing wrong with a MOTL arranger, I know there’s some SZ members who have earned a great living playing a MOTL arranger. The way I figure it life is short I don’t drink, gamble, smoke or womanize gotta have a vice of some kind for me it’s Genos and it’s worth every penny I paid for it.

Yes, but is it more than you need?
I have the Premier model Chevy Malibu ... Fully loaded ... A Tesla would cost 4 times as much, but is it going to serve me any better???

I can understand the need - desire? - for 76 keys, but other than that shouldn't the inspiration for playing come from within ? ...
When I was first taking management courses we were told that money is the lowest motivational factor for a person's performance and that pay increases only motivated for a very short period of time ... It took me a while to understand that ... I feel the same way about keyboards ... yes, they may motivate you initially, but how long does that last ?!?
