Don,
You were one of the very few who got along with the BK-7M...even die-hard Roland fans like Fran, Diki, etc. are/were very disappointed in the instrument.
Here in Cape Breton, they sold only two, and both were returned.
I do hope you have better luck with the PA3X...they sold only one here(against many, many Tyros4's)...biggest complaint was lack of support and very few third party (and factory) styles available.
I do think the PA3X is a very professional arranger, and I think the ergonomics are superb and probably the best of the current crop, so maybe those pluses will make up for the minuses.
In any case, good luck with whatever you choose.

The main reason I passed over the BK-7m.....It does not read lyrics embedded in SMF's (or chords)...on the internal screen...If it had...like the version 2 Prelude.....it would have been a great arranger with portability...Since I already own the "Cadilac" (G70)...with all the great features a top Roland gives me...with the exception of a mp3'wave playback option...the BK is not a must have for me...
I ..like Don, like the advantage the G70 allows me...with all in one design..and a very capable all in one arranger....at 46 pounds it answers the bell for me..even against the new stuff...
The "smart" vocalizer, markers, total editing for styles and songs., easy on stage OS..best piano, drawbar organ, drums built into an arranger...makes it "stil the one"...for me...
Everytime I A-B it to something new..it amazes me ..that I already have the better instrument.....FOR ME..
