Met up with SZ member Frankieve at his store today and took home a shiny new PA800. YEAh!! This is what I was looking for. More to follow in the coming days. Playing a brunch mid day on Sunday and plan on using it, got some work to do. Also have a couple of photos to share, they will follow later.

Stephen,

Ahhh...great news and joy Have fun with your new toy.

Maybe one day I'll get my chance, but it definitely wasn't in the cards this time around.

God knows what's best for me and the S900 continues to serve VERY well.

Hi Steve

You must be having a great time with all these new toys. Enjoy

Zuki I do hope you get the chance in the future to get a PA 800. The board so far has exceeded my expectations.

Donny your reviews along with Uncle Dave's got the ball rolling for my interest in the PA800, glad you guys talked it up.

Dreamer let us know when your PA2xpro arrives. Takie and Rikkisbears thanks.

Scott I'm having a great time with all these toys. No doubt about it.

Here's a couple photos the first with Frankieve packing up the PA800 for me.

Stephenm52,

I see that You have Ketron SD-5, how would You compare it to Korg PA-800?

Sound quality, advantages, disadvantages, etc.?

Kalimero: Those photos were taken at Frank's buisness. He's played both, I'm sure he'll give you his comparison.
