Starkeeper,
I think that the problem is in the difference between what comes out from Pa speakers and what comes out from line output.
The difference is probably in the auto-loudness of the Pa internal power amp.
Anyway, I've used my Pa80 in live performances, and working a little with Pa output level and mixer gain level will let you reach a nice sound.
Regarding the piano preset, it is a matter of personal taste. While I like Pa grand piano preset, when I play with my group I exclusively use my old Roland JD800 piano sound (original presets, sound #53). On the otehr side, I like (and use) a lot Pa electric pianos.
