Hi AJ,
glad you got it sorted out.

The midi on the PA800 sounds brilliant. Haven't tried it yet as I'm still working my way thru the manual.
The fact that I can assign arranger tracks to internal, external or both is just what I was looking for. Be interesting to see if it can handle the sd2's bank changes , for melody parts in the sts's or songbook.
The STS is similar to the OTS settings
(Maybe that already existed in the PA80??)

The pads work the same as the psr ie up to 4 pads playing at the same time. You can stop them all or individually.
Big difference is the syncing. No matter when you hit it the pad starts on the same beat of it's bar. Not at the beginning of the bar & playing catch up.

Pads
copy pad to pad
copy style to pad
copy midifile to pad
event list edit
etc etc

The 5 switch pedal board also starts & stops them, which my psr didn't.

I don't know what the quality is like compared to Tyros pads, but I like doing my own anyway.

Download yourself a manual, 1.51 is the latest.

I can't compare the PA80 to the PA800 as I've never seen one.

I'm really impressed by all it's functions.

best wishes
Rikki
