You are right MC, the audience will not be able to tell the difference between the two, I can see if you are coming from another manufacturer, to buy one. Audya is a great instrument but does it get better with time or is it time for Ketron to reveal something new? I see a few on Ebay and maybe they know something we don't? The KORG PA3X is a great board and is very flexible, but needs a lot of work for me to get were I want it.
