after all the keyboards I have had through the years of playing
I have found that just the right keyboard is the one that makes you feel good about playing. I love my pa1000 just because all I have to do or hook up is to turn it on and play. I don't care if the latest and greatest has something outstanding or some gadget
that just came out. I know what it can do and how to do it. No spending hour, days or weeks learning to operate just sit down and play and enjoy. The difference between most arrangers that are out there are so slight that almost nobody can tell the difference if they are not side by side. What you put into your playing is what you get out of it. Enjoy what you have and learn how it works and you will soon find that that is all you need.
I switched from a pa900 to pa1000 only because the tilt screen let me see better with my remaining vision. I didn't need extra nobs and drawbars or other goodies that I would really not need so I did not buy the pa4x. This is just my way of happily making a living and making myself happy doing it.

Just my opinion
