My review of PA1X Pro at HC:
http://www.harmony-central.com/Synth/Data/Korg/PA1X-Pro-01.html

So far it is really fun to play, it froze on me once yesterday while trying to transfer data from my PC. I wish it had USB MIDI, but it's no big deal. I also preferred the Flash card like with PA80 for sampling instead of HD and RAM combo, with flash card all the samples were faster to load, but the damn card was so expensive so I can't complain. So far so good ....

I really had to get used to playing chord changes with left hand because of 76 keys. I guess that's because I never had a 76 key arranger before.

As far as price, I think at $3000 it is not too bad considering the features you get. Compare it to the PA80 at $1999 ... HD, Harmony board, Flash Card, Video Card, Real drums expansion card, Turkish Expansion card etc ... everything were options and these add up to about $800 - $900 (ouch!). You get all these options with PA1X. Although, I would prefer it to be cheaper, but it is not so bad.
