Well please keep in mind it's my opinion that if you are spending a large quantity of money in such a complex instrument, the bigger investment should be in the musical skills. It's like in other things in the world... if you don't learn the math you're not going to be able to make change. I would never bring up the issue of a facility to easily transpose and why? Not because I am a virtuoso on the keys as very few of us actually are and I am certainly not but when I run into a wall like that I don't yield to the mechanics I simply pick up the theory book and then augment my capacity. In my opinion you can let the instrument augment your limitations. What happens when you don''t have a workstation and you are placed in front of an acoustic piano and have to try the piece in several different keys. It's part of the mechanics we all should know in and out. Again, just my opinion.
That's like saying that it's OK for some synth to have a lousy trumpet sound because it should be within the expectation of the musician to play trumpet as well as keys, or that there be no need for a quantize feature on the sequencer because it should be with the expectation of the musician that you can play in perfect time during your performance.
The entire point of these giant synth/computer/workstations is to make doing many things simpler for people who don't possess all the individual skills.
