I agree with your assessment Rolanfan on the sounds, but when you throw in the fact that the PA series both pax and pa800 have fully featured sequencers, fully featured samplers and deeply editable sounds all onboard the keyboard plus the ability to import 3rd party sounds samples from a wide range of formats etc it makes the decision a lot easier for individuals who use the instruments for playing live as well as studio as well as song writing and production. Alsmost all of the Pa800 capability will be brought out in the new OS for the Pax
