I agree with Beaky, the price performance arranger still goes to Yamaha. I am still a Sam Ash visitor player, but I go there a lot till I am able to buy.
The Yamaha continues to impress me. Its like a grown up 740, which to me did not really make the grade. The 2000 finally does.
The PA-80 to me is a better board overall, but even at Sam Ash its almost double the cost with the Harmonizer. As a guitar player, the Yamaha approaches the PA-80 but at a much lower cost.
I still enjoy this forum so much, it really helped me to understand these arrangers, coming from th 6 string world its a great help.
thanks
