Very encouraging George. I was contemplating parting with the PA80 in favor of the Tyros, but one of my main objections was losing the Korg soundset.

Even though I like the Tyros soundset better overall ( save for some of the drums, bass and synths ) .. I have the Motif ES and want a korg soundset to compliment it. If the demos are an accurate indication of what the PA1x sounds like ( a ton better than the PA80 ), then I'm going there and will have the best of both worlds for me. If I ever start playing a lot of live shows again, ( an making the bucks to justify it ) then the Tyros or even the 2100 could become my "backup". Pretty good backups I think.

The caveat is that I may not get to see one to try. I don't think the local store is interested in carrying it. Maybe I'll have to bend the rules a little and trust George's honest evaluation ( and I know George will give us a good one ) .. and purchase it from him.
