I'd say Korg pa3x is holding it's own in a strong #2 spot out of the three contenders just behind Yamaha & a hair in-front of Ketron at the moment....but it's a long race & maybe some surprise long shots will appear.

Yes, I like Korg's sounds...overall most voices are a little more synthy than Yamaha (but that is why some love them), and the acoustic pianos were always very good.

We had a loaded Korg Triton Extreme at the studio for a week (it was a client's)...very nice. New stuff is even better.

If I had the money, and a bit more space, I'd get a left over PA2X...I'll bet there will be some good deals to be had, now that the PA3X is out.

Ian, you could always buy my Pa2X, when I get my Pa3X and move my songs over. That would be an even better deal.

You're getting a PA3X, Graham...congratulations. Are you getting the PA3XPro, or the 61 note?

76 keys for me, gives you so much more flexibility with only a small weight difference. Of course, I'm still waiting like all US customers. Last word from Frank was end June. I'm also going for the PaAS. I'd love to think that would work in the smaller NH situations. Time will tell, it'll certainly be an easy solution for home use.

I've played several Korg pianos through my years as a musician.
Mainly the SP series. My favorite is the SP-500.

They are pretty nice, they can't take a beating as well as the old school Yamaha tanks (The P-150, P-200 and P-250 omg... I could tell some stories about those..) But sound wise they are quite good. A lot of players here prefer the Roland RD series - but I have always found the Roland pianos a bit... "pop'y", and the Yammies are all about rock'n'roll - the Korgs place nicely in the middle. But the keys on the Yammies still rule imho - I don't know what type they use, but the way they are weighted they play close to a real piano - no they don't feel anything like it - but they play like it. The Korg keys get a bit - sticky after some abuse.
