Oh, good for you, yes I figured the lack of additional inputs would hurt some guys; I was looking for some tips on how to get the best out of the onboard system.

The VLT2 allows me to feed audio, vocal and instrument all into the Korg's speakers. Pretty cool.

Sounds like to me....you should have tried the PA600, at half the price

Naw ... the new one has better speakers, and when the small, 1 hour deals arise - the mic input beats lugging another piece around. Sonetimes, it's very unimportant how loud and beautiful the mic is, but not often. I'd miss the 2 players and I'm sure other things as well. The 900 just has a better look to it. I love the shape of the body ... too bad it's not a redhead!
