Well,
Actually I think there's nothing wrong with exploring your options.
But you did scare me a little, when you almost decided to go for an arranger keyboard instead of a .com synth.
But had you gone for a PSR instead of a QSS22 I'd still respect your choice.
See, PSRs are like a gate drug

.
First a tiny PSR next....Huge studio with all kinds of stuff.
My first experience with keyboards was my cousin's Roland E-35.
It was the limitations of that little bugger, that made me run out and buy a D-50 and a DX-7.
Nowadays it's like...no room to sleep or
breathe for that matter - Synths, synths, synths and did I mention MORE synths...
