I think many users, like myself, do not consider the Tyros series as a competitor for the PA800 because of the lack of monitor speakers. I know that is my number one concern when shopping, and the biggest reason that I no longer play Yamaha products on stage. When the T-3 arrives, there will undoubtedly be T-2s available cheap, but a PA800 is a horse of a different color. If you are a sticker for on board monitoring, as I am ... the T-3 is not even a contender.

As a side note - I'm sure it will sound and operate really well, as most Yamaha products do, but the low end doesn't feel good enough, and the high end took away the speakers, so that puts Yamaha on a way back burner for me. No silent slabs in my rig!
