This probably won't help much, but the keybed of the PA800 is very similar (if not identical - I couldn't see any difference) to that found in the StudioLogic SL161 (i.e. a Fatar keybed) - except the PA800 has non-weighted keys as opposed to the semi-weighted ones on the SL161. Not sure if this is what you are referring to as the cheap Fatar keybeds.

The other closest comparison I could make is that it is similar to the keybeds in the PA80 and Karma keyboards. The quality of the keyboard is good but for me it is very different from say the PA1X-pro (76 key) or G70 keybeds.

When you say PA1X do you mean the 61 or 76 key version, because they both have distinctly different keybeds and consequently keyfeel but both are also very nice semi-weighted keybeds and again to my feel a notch above the PA800.
