I'm gonna reserve judgement yet on whether the 2000 is better than the PA80 for live play. At this point, I would say yes, but today I discovered that there is also something wrong with the OS in my PA80. I'm not getting a certain screen to come up that is shown in the manual. thisw screen allows a sort of jukebox setting by the numbers. That would make a big difference to me for using midi files. I discovered this by accident when trying to find out why the groove feature is also not working in the board, so I'm gonna reload Os 3.0 and see if I missed a step or two. ( I think I may have ). I had never really thought of using the PA80 as the primary board in my live act so all of this is a bit new to me. If I can get it straightened out, I may forego the 2000 altogether and go in a new direction, after the conversation I had with my dealer today. That will come up shortly on a new thread after I test the OS again for the PA80,
