I dont think the Pa3x (61) is a direct replacement for the PA800. It is a replacement for the PA2x but just a 61 key version.
I predict a PA800 replacement will come out with built in speakers / only 3 sliders (not 9) etc and it will keep the same price that the PA800 was when it came out.

The PA800 is discontinued.
The new arranger series is JUST the PA3. It comes in either a 61 note or 76 note version. That's it!!!
Whether Korg decide to release a cheaper downmarket version "similar" to the PA500, is yet to be determined.
Although one thing, I
WISH they would put the keybed from the 73 note Kronos in instead... Imagine having those beautiful fully weighted keys to play mmmmmmm
Not so good for more Synth players who need the fast action keybed
