Tell me again why the PA4x is worth 3x the price shocked

Let me answer that question for you.. PA4x has a 16 track sequencer, harmonizer, and separate outs...All top models should have these, but at what cost frown


**Well, first - having more of something doesn't mean it's better - 4 pads and 3 assignable buttons are plenty for most situations, especially when you
Add to that: Real time sliders for most parts that double as drawbars, and the 5 button footswitch that adds assignable features

**The touch screen is almost worth the price jump alone - plus, there's a button for most features on the screen if you need a different approach.

**2 song players - real time, hardware based fade from song to song

**Realtime edits on the fly - even while a pattern is playing. There's almost no edits that can't be made while playing. Never had a glitch doing this.

**Solid construction - better housing - more roadworthy. (I do miss the speakers, though)

**since I don't know what "makeup tools" are - I guess I don't miss them.

C'mon, Fran - this is a Cadillac to Malibu comparison. Both cool, but the Caddy has so much more to offer, and is soooooo much more comfy.
