Yes, it sure is a lot of fun, and I find a lot of my old chops coming back, and some wind up in my arranger playing.

It's also very easy to turn the drums up on my S910 (or T3), change that channel's EQ, and achieve a more dominant drum beat, and a sound not that far away from Audya's audio drums, yet still retaining the detail and smoothness I like to hear.

I have a totally different set of registrations/styles for restaurant and "live" gigging, and with the convenience of flash drive storage, I'm able to have everything I need at every gig.

Both sets work exceptionally well. I know what I want to hear, and also, what works best...I've been in the business a very long time.

The Yamaha arranger is very versatile and covers every situation quite well...that's why I love using the product.

I suppose Audya would be a nice part of a kit, but, it's got too many issues and bugs, and in any steady gigging situation, you must have reliability and a great sound.
