I agree with each his/her own. I'm glad there are few PA800 enthusiasts, because it makes my act even more special. This is the best board on the planet people! Use your imagination and dig into the fabulous styles/sounds/pads/harmonizer/breaks/fills/songbook. Use every one of them and see how creative and fantastic you will sound...enough said. There is NO comparison between this and the S900 - it makes the latter sound like a Dollar Days toy.
