I thought the 910 would be worlds above the 3000, but in actuality, for my purposes - they are almost the same.
If the VH is the same for the Tyros/Tyros2/Tyros3 and the PSR-S910/S900, and I'm pretty sure it is, then it might be quite possible to upgrade(fix) the latter.
But, as you say, it may be expensive, but, I'm also hoping that since they've (Yamaha) have been using the same darn harmonizer for quite some time, that maybe a fix will be forthcoming.
I'd still be using a PSR-3000 if it wasn't for the fact that I play all instrumental music, and the new SA, Cool! Sweet! and Live! on the S910 are incredibly expressive; especially the SA Sax and SA Concert Guitar, two voices I really love to use...plus, the two new SA Hammond samples, SA Jazz Rotary, and SA Rock Rotary, are excellent.
I know one thing...after hearing the Tyros4, I am leaning more and more towards getting one, but, I want to spend some quality time on one first. The whole instrument appears to be a big step up from the Tyros3, much like the S910 is from the S900...in appearance all these instruments, respectively, look identical, but "under the hood (or bonnet)" they are different, in both voice expressiveness, and overall sonic goodness as well.
Good luck with your PA-800...the Nord is quite nice, David...I played one, and it's got some terrific sounds.
