Im happy to help. All of my arranger keyboards at my store go through the Stagepas300 . One word of warning. You might find a dealer that tries to sell you on the Stagepas500. I don't think it's worth spending almost twice as much for a little more power and slightly larger speakers. This model came out a year after the 300 and Yamaha still sells many more 300's. If the price difference was just a couple of hundred dollars more it would probably have done very well, but $549 to $999 is too much. The 300 really fills up a nice size room really well with clean power and the bass sounds amazing for such small speakers. Good Luck!
GK, I have checked out (on the Net, as it is a long weekend here) the pricing the 300 is $841AUD and the 500 is $1316AUD here big different to were you are.
As you said I really do not need more than that, I feel that to much technology is not the only way to go, even with advance keyboards - how much do you really need; but thats another topic isn't.
Yes, 8 channels is more than I can you with 4 mic inputs. I prefer the sound quality of Yamaha over something like Behringer Europort EPA800 - higher output does not always equate to better, clearer sound.
Then theres the weight issues - 76 keyboard plus extras - my poor back. This is were the 61 style keyboards come into theier own.
