I had a chance to see and play the PA500 yesterday. It is very nice. It is built in china in a factory wich only builds Korg products. It has all the sound and style content of the PA800 but without the sampling capabilities, the drawbar organ simulator, the vocal harmonizer and instead of a USB device port there is an SD card slot on the back.
The selling price here in the USA is $1499.00 (MAP).
