oki, i admit it!
i exagerated just to make my point!
diki, you're right - i only wanted to point out that cheaper instruments from the same series, E or PA for that matter, MUST have something missing...... maybe some features, maybe some sounds/styles, maybe both.

if pa500 proves to be the same as pa800, sound wise, i think i could live without having the complete set of functions..... hopefully the situation is the same like it was with pa50, having the same sounds as pa80, minus some features.

i think i could play pa500 happily.......
