Don,
I'm pretty sure the PA80 will be expendable as soon as the PA60s get here. I took a closer look at my rig last night and realized that I will need to bring the rack bag, NO MATTER WHAT - so there is no point in having the built-in harmonizer, because I won't use it anyway. I won't use the sampler either, so I think as long as the PA60 has the SAME engine and sound good .... it's a go. I'll keep you posted, but I'm pretty sure that's what I'll do. I really want a bare-bones kb that feels ok, sounds ok and as a hard drive. The rest I can deal with until they build the "Uncle Davie" model.
