Hi Nitelife.
Read your post with interest. My story is that I come from a long line of technics but my 6000 is broken and not worth fixing. If I could find anybody in OZ who would touch it.
I bought a psr710 and while I like it, It doesn't offer much of a challenge in tweaking.
It was suggested that I buy a A5 but I have decided on a pa3x.
Why?
I think the sounds on all the modern KB's are excellent. Not being a performer, I don't worry too much about that.
The main thing was price. I'm getting the korg 76 key for A$400 less than the A5 61 key. The sounds are not going to be much different out of my old pa system anyway. There is so much to learn (and I like that) with the korg plus it has the helicon system which is a bonus I think.
I will be very much interested in reading your experiences with the korg and comparing it with minew.
