Hi Doc,
if it was me I'd be waiting till December & try & do a hands on comparison of the 2.

Nothing worse than settling for one, then wishing you'd waited.

I would imagine the PA1x's will only keep getting less expensive, as korg owners upgrade to the PA2x.

I recently bought the PA800( 61 note forerunner to the PA2X ) & luv it. Personally I don't have regrets for not waiting for a PA2x, only because I wanted speakers & don't need another 76 note keyboard.

They had a fairly major upgrade to the PA800 operating system, where they included
"Guitar Mode". They revised a number of styles & the styles that include the guitar mode tracks sound brilliant.

Didn't own a PA1x so can't really compare sounds & styles, but maybe if you can get your hands on a PA800 & compare it PA1X may give you rough idea if the PA2x is worth waiting for. I think from what I read on the website the PA800 & PA2x
share the same sounds & styles.

best wishes
Rikki
