I had a Triton for many years and thought I would "know" the board out of the box....Wrong.LOL
I knew how to call up voices thats about it...

I immediately did not like the cheap feeling faders and the usual Korg buttons.

However I read a lot about it but had not heard it live. I thought it would make the best WORKSTATION out of all the arrangers and in that regard it is excellent. I liked the feature set for the price but it was the features in the end that mucked it up for me. Too many I paid for but would not use. I found the styles great but the availability of additional styles poor.
I thought the sounds were Grungier than the Yamaha some of them better in that regard,some not.


My wife and I set up the notebook and auditioned the Tyros 2 vs the Korg into our surround system and we both thought the Yamha sounded better on the acoustic stuff, but I insisted on the Korg because I was not impressed with the T2.

Working for a dealer I had early info on the T3 and decided it had what was missing from the T2 and more. I took a chance and decided to sell the Korg BEFORE the T3 info was released to get a better price. I sold it and brought home a PSR s900 to play with while I wait and yes it does make me miss the Korg. But from what I have read and heard from those who had hands on the T3 its a huge upgrade although on paper it does not appear so.

So I'm not really taking a chance based on my price but I am confident it will meet and exceed my expectations.

Ideally I'd like both!
That said I will probably keep an eye out for a "fire sale" PA800 because we did like a lot about it but not enough to warrant the full $3500 for features we would not use. The PA will have a lot of what we did like. The scat was nice as well as the Drums. However I hear the T3 has made some inroads in that area...we shall see.
