A lot of money (can get 2 900s) but the keybed itself is worth keeping. It is the best 76 I have played.

Why I will keep:

1. Motorized screen (neck surgeries) is a blessing
2. Speaker bar (optional to take or not) is incredible in combination w/Nano
3. Keybed fabulous
4. More controls on panel
5. Vocal harmonizer
6. EC-5 Pedal (cannot believe how this would be missed since I used it extensively with my past 800).
7. Quality build and beauty

Just a few for starts. 800 stick didn't match up but they have the software work-a-round. I'm just starting over and redoing my songs anyway. Might never play out, depends on how I think I sound smile








Those are the main things.

I knew you'd love it Jim.
Reasons I changed: I don't care about 1, 2 and 3.
4, 5, and 7 are good enough on 900.
Yes, 6 is a big minus. I'm investigating midi foot controls as we speak.
Plus the 900 weighs 10 pounds less than the PA3X 61, and has speakers.
Costs a "little" less too. smile

I don't know Don, after hearing Botti's band last night and then my playing and singing - the 3X might be overkill

It took me six months to really get to know and love the PA3x. Give it a good chance!

More than one needs, based on talent.

The pa900 has supposedly the same keybed as the 61 pa3x version... Which is the same build of the 76 version but then with 15 keys less...

I personally however could not live with having 15 keys less.. But then ias a former organ player, i consider me more of a piano player with every day passing..
