Without going into the speal about; "Only you know your needs", I think your logic is perfectly sound.

I have a Tyros, Korg Triton Extreme, and a Motif ES 88 and I'm thinking of getting rid of the Korg and the Motif and going to a high end controller with a Motif ES Rack, Triton Rack, and maybe a Fantom Rack. This allows you to mix and match modules/keyboards/sounds much more easily.

Although I haven't tried the new M-Audio 88 controller, some of the new controllers have wonderful action and control surfaces.

Just curious what your issues are with the Pa1xPro? I was curious to hear from someone who owns this board what they like and don't like.

Regards,
