Tony - thanks! I will see if I can get a recording of me playing the lead...I'm no Kirk W but it is a cool song and I enjoy playing that tune.

Jamman - Didn't have a Korg in the house when I did that track - but had I owned the Korg I would definitely have considered the PA900 as well as the source for the track. Now that I have had PA900 for a while, to me, here are the things I've noted about the Korg:
- More "live sounding" on many of the styles
- Many nice styles cut for specific songs in several genres
- Touch display and better control for mic settings and great vocal processor
- Nice variety of drum kits and integration w/the styles
- Several instruments are so close to Yamaha sounds you would have a difficult time telling them apart
- Songbook feature simplifies saving songs with my settings
- On the negative side, triggering endings, breaks, and fills can be tricky to time - sometimes resulting in volume differences or synchronization issues
- File system "appears" to be more difficult, i.e., I have to load banks of styles into the board - can't seem to play them from a USB stick
- Some sounds, i.e., saxes are not as accurate to me as the Yamaha sounds (but, being a sax player I tend to not use the sax sounds when playing the keyboard)

In contrast, here are some things I've noticed about the Yamaha's:
- More "studio sounding" on the majority of styles/sounds
- Allows you to trigger fills, endings, and breaks without regard to the beat you are on
- Simpler (at least to me at this point - but I do have much less experience with my Korg) to access styles on USB media and no need to load them onto the board to play them
- Registration capability can be used to simplify song arrangement, sections, tempos
- Seems (at this point) that there are more multi-pads available in various genres

To sum up, at this point I am happy to have access to both brands. I don't currently take a keyboard to many of my gigs as a soloist although if I do get a 4-hour commitment I will usually take the arranger along and intersperse some instrumentals with it. In the future, I do hope to try some vocals in which case due to the vocal processor on the PA900, I would have to carefully consider which board I would want to use. Bear in mind my thoughts on the boards are based on being a Yammie guy for a long time and only recently acquiring the Korg.

One thing I love about both the the Korg PA900 and the PSRs is the on-board speakers. Makes it much simpler to play the board at home as well as at small crowd gigs without having to take a full PA system.
