i agree. The Roland offering on paper at least does not include anything that we would have tempted me. The demo's sound like a well put together demo but thats not really a testament to the actual usefull ness of the keyboard.I have still got my eye on the Korg PA1X but i am trying to balance off the extra cash against the percieved extra benefit compared to my old keyboard. I think it might be just new purchase lust on my part as i spent a good 3 hours with my old board last night and i was amazed that even now (after 5 years ownership) The keyboard still has so many surprises for me and the sound is quite cool. I did a version of the funk demo (G70) and its sounds just as wicked (in my humble opinion) .
