I thought Leigh did a great job in the PA3XPro review, and it matches the opinion of several PA3Xpro owners and former owners (those that returned the product).

It appears Spalding is correct with the statement, "...the sounds of the korg have not progressed much further than the earlier keyboards..." and, again, the users I have spoken with, and conversed via email, are of a similar opinion.

That's not to mean the Korg is a bad instrument...au contraire; it is a wonderful sounding instrument with that typical Korgian sound that you either like a lot, or, not like so much.

I happen to like the sound, even though it tends to a be a bit synthetic compared to the competition, but, again, that's the nature of the sound's design.

Feature wise, it's ahead of some competitor's instruments, and behind in others...it depends on what features are most important to the user.

I'm sure most buyers will be happy with the product.
