Hi -well I had decided to get a PA80 but was unable to get it on exchange for the VA7 without playing an extra $1000 Australian -which was rediculous seeing that the PA 80 was about $1000 cheaper than the VA7 to start with.They would only give me the value of my VA7 puchase if I bought a more expensive keyboard on exchange.So I bought a Tyros and recieved it today by post-not having even seen or played one.I knew it was going to be good because of what many people here were saying.And I wasn't dissapointed.The sounds are great and it is so responsive to every change.The syles are also great.It is a really classy keyboard.I havn't delved into recording and editing yet but so far it is definitely worth the money.Thanks for your advise and suggestions on this forum.Rod
