the pa50 is a scaled down version of the pa80, and you would only really buy it if you were on a very restrictive budget..alternatives could be the roland g7 (smaller brother to the g70), the exr-7 (with 76 keys) exr-5 with 61 keys, the newer casio WK series are also up there in value for money and sound..maybe the yammi not sure what the pricing for a 3000 would be where you are....hope that helps

dennis,
peace, out
