I have the AKX10 and the Genos. Of course the Genos sounds much better than the AKX10. However, I have found the AKX10 to be a blast. I have had so much fun with all of it's features. For the money you can't beat it. I think the sound quality is in the range of the Korg PA50. Sounds are subjective. I believe what makes music beautiful is how you play not what sounds you play. If that makes sense. Anyway, my bottom line is, it is well worth the money and more.
