I don't want to turn this into a forum for arrangers, there's several good ones around already. I'll just say while they all have their fans, the majority of pro players think the Korgs are the best including me. The Tyros 4 and the Audya are a close second. Check out the prices on those. A $500 PSR won't come close to cutting it. You've got to move on up to the $1,000+ territory and the top ones are more like $4,000. Until you get up there then yes they're robotic and unsatisfying.

I completely agree, Biab is by far the best bang for the buck going because you don't beat it with an arranger until you're spending big bucks and are a good enough player to take advantage of it.

I have a friend who's a grad of Berklee on piano and he uses a Roland G70. Another $3,500 arranger. You should hear what he can do with it. Incredible. He also agrees with me, his next one will be the latest Korg although that G70 is no slouch. The older Roland G1000 is pretty good and they're now going for under a grand used. If you want an affordable arranger, try to find one of those.

I just decided to check out Ebay and found this:

That's a great keyboard for that kind of money. It would blow that PSR into the weeds. Just speaking generally of course, I know nothing about this seller.
