My personal opinion only! Korg will stay with the current high end for a while..There is memory still available and I personally think you will see several more OS upgrades...the only reason they stopped doing upgrades to PA1XPRO was they finally ran out of resourses(memory).

As long as you hae actually spent a lot of time playing the PA800 AND you like the styles, and the way the intros/fills/variations/endings work I think you will be happy with it. That area is a little smoother with Yamaha, but once you get accustomed to it it's OK and even has some advantages.
