Bingo! I passed on the Pa3X - a case of not wanting to shell out big bucks for far more than I'd ever use. Jeez, my Pa1XPro has more than I'll ever use. Waiting is not a problem for me. I waited over ten years with my i30 and only jumped to the 1X as it was a downright sweet secondhand deal at the time. But time takes its toll - on my back anyway, so I'm biding my time to see what this Pa900 is all about. Have to say, though, that it does look like it might just be the most potent contender for my dollar before too, too long.
