I've still got my PA1X-Pro (Elite) and I'm still happy with it.

Bought it in 2007-ish (in fact, that was the reason I joined these boards, to get advice on arrangers!) and when I upgrade, it will either be to a PA2X or a Roland - if they release something absolutely Mindblowing.

I'm a working Pro and gig an average of 4 times a week.

The real reasons I will upgrade are:

1. Current board will become unreliable (ultimately) and, as I have no backup, I will simply have to move on to a rock solid instrument - simple as that.

2. Even more important than keeping current features & sounds wise (I have to, as I play a fair bit of Top40/Rap/RnB) is.....UI.

USER INTERFACE is now my Number 1 concern with ANY future keyboard I buy.

Having gotten so used to my iPhone, and just recently my new HP Touchsmart Tablet PC, I need a Keyboard that allows great live interfacing AND complex editing if I need it.

Let's face it, all TOTL keyboards are good enough soundwise for almost anything, but HOW we can use that power EASILY, QUICKLY and FLEXIBLY is now the Holy Grail as far as I'm concerned.
