Hi Jo, maybe an arranger KB not the right axe for band work? Also something tells me that if you HATED the Korg PA2X, the 3X wouldn't do it for you. Have you tried a Ketron or Roland? Anyways I know it's tuff when you can't demo stuff. I live in a big US city yet the only arranger KB in the stores are Yamaha psr and Casio.
