Your points are very true Notes but I have to say I am a big fan of auto arranger keyboards. They're not for mediocre players though. They all have that basic "one finger" option for raw beginners but if you're not a pretty good pianist you're not going to get close to the great demo's you see all over the web. My Pa1XPro is the first of the PA Pro series and the Pa3x is out now and it is in a word fantastic. I want one in the worst way. Only $3,699. Even though we're both right in that the style elements are fixed those elements are really, really good. They were performed and recorded by some very good players. And then there's the sound engine. Killer. If money was no object I'd snap one up right now but I have to stay true to my mantra that when gigs are only worth $100 or so around here any purchase has to pay for itself so I never buy stuff like this new and it's still too new to find any good used deals. And besides nobody but me or you could tell the difference between my Pa1x and the new Pa3x. Mine is still pretty darn good. I use it for duo and trio gigs without a drummer and then for band work I have my Kurzweil PC3. Another great keyboard.
