Hi Tim:

Like Stephen said, I do play out with the Tyros3 and the Korg....I play both PA800/500, I like the DNC and some other on board sounds that the 800 has over the 500, for what I use, I mostly take the T3 and the PA500... witch by the way is in the engine of the PA588 with the exception of the Gran Piano sound that is (I been told) that is really Great.
I like the combination of both, the Korg I like the fact that you can make your very own styles using only a PC sequencer software, it does NOT require the special software that is needed to make styles for ALL the other brands, Korg allows the user to make Factory quality styles, of course, you must have the creativity, patience, and an eye for the detail, and like most things in life, everything becames easier when you pass the learning curve.
I really like my setup, right now I am working (besides the gigs), in 2 CDs that I will release soon, and I am using both keyboards in almost all the songs, I already have 21 numbers, needless to say, I make a living playing in Ballroom dances, and that is the market that I have oriented the songs I am putting into it.
Hope this help you.
P.S. The Korg style making is available in ALL their models, PA500-588-800 and 2X.
