Overall sound wise(IMHO) it's 20-25% better (mostly in Ac guitar,Piano,Reeds dept)(not as good as T2 guitars -both Ac and El).
since you have touch screen and more functional display -editiong is much easier.Styles - 25 -30 % better with similar behavior.

Multipads can play loops (unlike PA80-50-60),Like Yams.

If you like synth sounds ,fuctions - why not a used Triton (around $500 ) or triton Xtrmeme(used $900) which will be much better.You'll have more EFX,combi mode,APGTR,ribbon controller,realtime knobs ,better keys and so on.
