When I was demoing the Bose PA a few weeks ago I took my regular rig in and set it up next to the Bose, so I could really A/B them...

With regard to "stereo"...

(I use a Tyros 2)...

Sitting in front and in the middle of my rig, Yes, there was stereo separation that I loved...

There was a slightly better clarity, but at my position, it wasn't significant.

The difference occurred 15 ft. in front of me and then increased substantially the further away I went.

At roughly 15 ft...you began to hear the stereo signals blend into one...

At roughly 50 ft...it was totally blended And there was dispertion drop off...

At 75 ft...I couldn't seem to hear my normal rig as well as I wanted to, but the Bose was sounding terrific...

At roughly 100+ ft, the thought of stereo was now an utter after-thought, and volume was certainly an issue from my old rig...

At this distance, the bose was a very good volume and sounded like it did when I was sitting right in front of it...

At that point, I was sold...

I love the stereo output I heard from the original set up, but once you got in front of it, no one else heard it like I did...So, for the ease of set up, the reduced strain on my back and the cleaner appearance on stage, it was a no brainer...for me...
