I sell and use both, and as Diki said, "the Audya leaves very little room for margin on the dealer level".

I have gigged with both boards and both of them have some very nice features, each have their downside too.

The Audya has some incredible styles that are very musical, and the drum and bass drive it very well. The overall tone and eq of especially the bottom end really give the rythm a driving force. But there are hiccups in the system, a bit outdated in some of the internal parts for upgrading. Some of the solo sounds are not as impressive as the Korg.

Like Diki said also, it depends on the type of music your playing. In my case I play allot of latin, older italian, and 70's type ballads, which I think the Audya is superior at. But the Korg's funk, new ballad, new pop styles are amazing and blow away the Audya's.

Vocalizers are how you make of it, my voice doesn't really benefit from the Korg's amazing vocalizer and mic processing, basically you can hear too much of my actual voice. I need allot of covering up.

The Audya's vocal section blankets my voice so it actually sounds better since its mostly electronics instead of my voice.

I sell allot more Pa2xpros than I sell Audyas. I have the ability to discount the Pa2xpro and still make some money. They are both great keyboards and they both have their place, its just like anything else, it needs to work for you. Just because the Korg has amazing editing functions doesn't mean the guy who just likes to play out of the box is going to benefit from that.
