I received this evaluation from a very respected member of this forum. It doesn’t necessarily address the price difference...but did help clarify for me, why I switched from the PA600 to the PSR-S970. It also helped me determine whether I should take out a second mortgage for a Genos!


“Korg has added much more to their pallette, but they are still Korg sounds and Korg styles, which are very different from Yamaha.

So what I'm saying if you are not a Korg fan, I don't think you will be overly impressed, for me, I feel that Korg and Yamaha both excel at certain styles, but Yamaha has the user base, that has millions of styles to share with. Korg is more of a closed community with not that type of feel.

Korg is a much deeper instrument with allot of newer tech, and an easier style creator, with a deep synthesis engine. But some people just want to press a button and play”.
