I agree that for what you want to do, the Audya would be ideal. Nothing else sounds as LIVE. I have PA3X now and I am very happy with it, but the Audya seems to be designed and built for what you want to do. It has facility for multiple outputs, so you could route things the way you want. The drummer and bass player seem to read your mind and add tasteful fills and riffs seamlessly.
I had zero problems with my Audya, and I played in nearly every night for over two years.
