I'm still happy with my PA80 and Motif ES Donny. I just not so happy at the prospect of selling my PA80 and scraping up a lot of extra money that would be needed to buy a PA1x. I just don't see enough value for the dollar, for my needs, because arrangers have their limitations, and spending all of the extra money to upgrade still won't give me the other tools that I want.
I'd buy a new arranger if it gave me more real time control over style parameters, such as real time algorithim adjustments ala the karma. That's just an example, not that I want a karma per se. I know that the PA1x has updated sounds and styles, but I don't need one. The PA80 still serves me well.
What I want is more ability to customize my sounds, operating paramters, etc. It's obvious to me that software is becoming the better choice for my needs.
