1. Sounds: A 2. Styles: B- 3. OS: C 4. Live play: C-
I love all the sounds. The piano is great, as with saxes, organs, basic sounds. The overall power is a big plus and there is some mind blowing stuff.
I have mixed emotions about the styles. I do like the unplugged, rock, dance, some country and a few big band. This board lacks the elegant, SIMPLE stuff - a fear I had. I love the 900 strings for ballads.
Styles: The variations seem OK and graduate nicely, but the fills in many styles are just plain awful - major glitches. I'd be afraid to hit them in live play. With that said, there are some awesome work-a-rounds, if you develop a good memory on what to push on time (I don't worry about that with my 900).
I'm still working on other things and I know the harmonizer will be a huge plus. Maybe that'll push it over the edge, but I have a long way to go in order to fall in love.

Hi Zuki, not sure if your earlier PA had this function, but just in case it's a simple fix. For some bizzare reason , the default Korg setting for fills & breaks is "immediate." In short, the fill sometimes starts in the middle of the bar, making it glitch. If you want to get rid of it & have the fill start at the beginning of the next bar, nice & smooth, you'll have to go into style edit. Pick th style, press the record button, Edit Existing style Press Tab "Record 2 Cue" Near the middle you'll see Cue Mode for Fill 1, choose "next measure, first measure" then Write the style.. Simple as. You may already be aware of this function, i'm finding it handy as I don't always hit fills at the right time. Haven't been game to overwrite the existing yet, but I'll have to sooner or later or I'll run out of user style space haa haa
Nice to hear you're starting to enjoy your PA800 more. It really is an awesome keyboard.
best wishes Rikki
