I have to disagree with the topic. I played a PA500 at GC today and it sounded very excellent. I had people standing around and they loved the board. It sounds as good as its big brother (800) and very nice looking. The keys felt fine for now.

I left scratching my head wondering why in the heck I traded my 800 for the lemon I'm stuck with now....
