Ditto Shiral, exactly what I'm planning to do as well. I already have the PA80 and a 740, and plan to upgrade from the 740 to the 2000, not so much because of shortcomings of one or the other, but rather because Yamaha does have a few sounds that I prefer, and the 2000 will be easier to operate for me in a live real time setting as a solo or duet act, while I'll use the PA80 more as a composition tool. Still I can see those specific uses overlapping too, as both boards seem to pretty capable of doing both things. LOL Krix, I'm thinking 3 boards at least ( my ancient M1 doesnt count though..it was a great board in it's day and I guess is looked at as a classic by some, but for me it's day is long over ), so the 3rd might be a Roland something or other or maybe better yet a Nord Lead just so I can have some real knobs to play with on those fat synth sounds.
