hi Col. Saswick: smile
Though I'm not sure I'd go as far as 'preferring' the KMA micro keys over the Pa2x full sized keys (or my Tyros 4 smaller keys), I concur that the micro keys are far more enjoyably playable than I ever imagined prior to getting my microARRANGER.
Played as a full piano, forget about Rachmoniff or Liszt repertoire, , but playing the micro keys in auto accomp arranger mode is no problem and enjoyable and fun. I also have no problem adapting back to playing my Tyros 4 and even the much larger and far heavier keys of my Steinway Acoustic Grand either.

I too have begun to utilize the KMA for not only parties but small casual paying gigs as well. Everyone, both clientele and audiences are impressed with the microARRANGER played and heard with basically "out of the box" factory settings, with vol balances (via physical sliders) easily adjusted on the fly. smile
Contrary to what some others may be saying, I'm very impressed with the Korg microARRANGER's "out of the box" sound, and I believe Donny Pesce's impressive micro ARRANGER demos, so quickly recorded by him simply using the KMA's "out of box" factory setting, and only a couple of days after he got it, supports this. clap
