A lot of money (can get 2 900s) but the keybed itself is worth keeping. It is the best 76 I have played.

Why I will keep:

1. Motorized screen (neck surgeries) is a blessing
2. Speaker bar (optional to take or not) is incredible in combination w/Nano
3. Keybed fabulous
4. More controls on panel
5. Vocal harmonizer
6. EC-5 Pedal (cannot believe how this would be missed since I used it extensively with my past 800).
7. Quality build and beauty

Just a few for starts. 800 stick didn't match up but they have the software work-a-round. I'm just starting over and redoing my songs anyway. Might never play out, depends on how I think I sound








Those are the main things.

I knew you'd love it Jim.
Reasons I changed: I don't care about 1, 2 and 3.
4, 5, and 7 are good enough on 900.
Yes, 6 is a big minus. I'm investigating midi foot controls as we speak.
Plus the 900 weighs 10 pounds less than the PA3X 61, and has speakers.
Costs a "little" less too.

I don't know Don, after hearing Botti's band last night and then my playing and singing - the 3X might be overkill

It took me six months to really get to know and love the PA3x. Give it a good chance!

so now what back to the Pa900? or?

How in the world can you have overkill in an arranger keyboard????

well done Zuki - I love my PA3x. the keyed is AWESOME!
that alone makes it a winner!

More than one needs, based on talent.

Awe zuki - talent always needs a challenge. :-)

The pa900 has supposedly the same keybed as the 61 pa3x version... Which is the same build of the 76 version but then with 15 keys less...

I personally however could not live with having 15 keys less.. But then ias a former organ player, i consider me more of a piano player with every day passing..
