I listen to the 500 again, and I think the sound engine is the same,

I think it was mislead from the tech, but i could be wrong, it sounds identical to the PA800.

I haven't recorded both to see exactly,

The key feel is not on par with the 800, it had that cheaper key feel,

all other functions are in there, I would say if you gigged with a PA 800, and went back the next day with a 500, i don;t think a sould would hear any difference other than the vocalizer missing


BTW the 500 is very light, you would probably need weights so it doesn't blow away
