Cass,
I am only about 3 hours from you.
I have a PA2XPRO hooked to great Mackie HR-824 monitors.

The sounds are the same as a PA800 and the OS is the same too.

If you like, you can drive down and check it out sometime. I had a T2, sold it and bought the Korg. Glad I did...but..you must be the one to decide what works for you personally.
