Jim,

Congratulations knowing of your long run with the PA800, you're gonna love the Pa3x-76 and if you had asked me in the first place I would have suggested you go the Pa3x route. JUST KIDDING, as I recall you did ask me what I thought of the Pa3x.

As BillyHank said it's built like a tank. But heck you and I are young guys, no sweat moving that baby around. I've been shuffling around the Pa3x just today and also the Tyros 5-76 and although I know the T55-76 weighs about 3 pounds more my perception is that that the Pa3x is heavier. Pa3x built more like a pro quality instrument, the T5 still in that infamous plastic style Yamaha case.
