The 800 is WAY more powerful than the 500. Fingered on bass is a real problem on the 500, which in itself, is a deal killer for me. No mic input, no EC-5, no after touch, very limited extra banks, just to name a few. Depends on what you want. lets not forget the Pa800 is "WAY MORE EXPENSIVE" also  .. I wouldn't use most of the features on the PA800 so why pay for it...30 KILLER custom tweaked styles is all I need to do almost any song in any genre for my needs....no need for all those banks, plus i deleted half the useless factopry styles also, so theres plenty of room for after market, converted, third party styles, etc.....my laptop covers MP3's and lyrics also if needed, never used finger on bass or do I ever use a pedal either... PA500 is more then enough IMO...

But with the alltime low econnomy, i have found 2nd hand PA800 as low as just over 900 euros (with build in MP3 board) and even a PA2X for just under 1200 euros... With those prices i would seriously consider the PA800
