I went to Frank’s store today to demo the Genos, all I can say is I was impressed! The real plus was that he had a Pa4x stacked on top of the Genos. I did the A/B test and no surprise the Genos excels in some ways and the Pa4x in other ways. Both are superb keyboards but I think we know that anyway. In my opinion the the Genos sounds better than the T5, is it worth the price? To my ears yes, if ya got the budget go for it. I also understand Genos is now on backorder.
Not surprised at your findings at all it really says something for the KORG Pa4x which bows to no other unit today,....but for so much less money and the quality features KORG the Tc helicon VH for starters, etc, etc, etc, offers, it's a no brainer....buy hey like you say if you wanna spend big $$$$ go for it..... enjoy
Ps and the fact that you didnt take one home Steve like you always do says alot too....lololol...just sayin
