Hi Graham,
The PA800 is a love/hate relationship. Some of the sounds/styles really blow me away, but it overall is just not what I can use for my needs. Even if I had the time, it is just not my cup of tea.
Heck, my 900 works great live (and I have the luxury of using this until I find a more suitable board), but others wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole

I'd like to thank Stephen, Rikki, Donny and a few others who helped me explore the 800.
So....I'm off to something entirely new (yikes) next week and this time will reserve judgement for a couple months.
One thing for sure, the excitement is still alive and well.
