Hi dschultze, terrific unbiased & throughly detailed review. As a Tyros owner who has also auditioned the Korg PA1X, I came to the same conclusions. If the Tyros2 hadn't come out so early, I most probably would have most certainly purchased a Korg Pa1X Pro. I too find both keyboards have distinctly impresive different sounds & styles. The PA1X has some important more powerful features (audio sync drum loops, duo sequencer, more fills options), but the Yamaha Tyros1 (and now Tyros2, with the added incredible sounding live playable S.A. Voices and other improvments) offers a more intuitive user friendly navigation/operation 'on the fly' environment, suitable for live performance. I've ordered a Tyros2, but if/when cash allows, I may still eventually get a PA1X Pro too. Thanks again for your review, and good luck in whatever decision you make. Both are excellent choices. - Scott
