I’ve got half dozen gigs under my belt with the Genos. Guitpic1 similar to you my audiences are about the same size in medium sized rooms. I like what I hear and have been getting compliments from the audience too. To my ears the Genos Bose Compact is a better combination than when I’ve used it with the Maui but I find the Pa4x and the Maui LD5 a better combination. I know it’s all subjective, maybe I’m all wet with that statement. I have to be honest though whether I’ve used the Pa4x or the Genos, audience reaction is just as positive. For live play both boards are excellent and Genos supplies all the controls that Tyros didn’t have. The new Playlist feature is as good as Songbook in my opinion. I just added wireless Bluetooth to the Genos so my tablet displays my lead sheets to the corresponding registrations. The one exception where I seemed to got the best reaction was at an all instrumental open house using the Genos. I think the difference is I didn’t start doing vocals until about age 60 but I’ve been playing piano/keyboards since I was a teen.
I too am happy with the Genos purchase.
