I have never heard the PA80, but I steered away from it because I heard that the fill-ins weren't that good and that the harmonizer wasn't that good.

I think that the PSR2000 is a great keyboard. I play professionally for elderly folks mostly, but I make a decent living for a gigging musician. I was playing the PSR 740. The advantage of the PSR 740 for me was its size and weight and, of course its many features. When you're setting up twice a day, you don't want to be lugging around a very heavy keyboard.

I really like the PSR2000's styles, and having access to the Yamaha CVP209 styles, some of them are really stunning. So the CVP209 style bank gives you access to another 60 styles or so.

I like the voices too, but also owning Gigastudio and having some real instrument samples, I am under no illusion that I am playing perfect replicas of instruments. But I like the voices and I get a lot of jollies playing them. Comparing voice ram might be misleading because the compression rates might be different for each keyboard.

The overall reverb on the PSR2000 is set a bit high for my taste, but you can set this to registration. Once you play again on the fly, the style reverb remains what was set with registration.

The vocal harmonies sound really good in my opinion. I performed today, and it really sounded like I had a group of three ladies singing above me.

The PSR2000 is easy to use.

It does lack storage, however. Luckily, styles load immediately from floppy, but no One Touch Setting or Registrations from floppy styles.

If I were hearing from Korg owners that the PA80 had four great fill-ins and a quality vocal harmonizer, and that it was easy to play, then I would be checking that keyboard out immediately. If the next OS is a major improvement, I will be interested in knowing that.

I like my Yammy so much, I am a bit incredulous that someone wouldn't like it. Fortunately, the keyboard doesn't have feelings because otherwise I might get a bit protective. But you can continue slamming the PSR2000. I will continue playing it - to the delight of my audiences.
