Honest, I love my Genos more and more for each day it's getting powered up. (Not bad for an 'anti yammie' like me.)  In my ears, it's the best sounding arranger made by Yamaha till date, and as I see it today, it will not be swapped for any other arranger. But, I will add a Korg PA4X-76 or the next TOTL Korg the day I'm in the mood to spend some money from my saving account just to please myself. After that's done, I can not see any reason for me to replace any arranger unless it explodes or cannot be played any more ....   Edit/Added: The only thing I dislike very much is the 'plastic fantastic' feel when move or lift Genos. There is no way it can be compared to G-70, SD1. Not even T4, those feels much more solid than Genos. Yeah, it's light weight, but feels pretty cheap until you start it up....

Hi Zuki, I had a T4 and a S970. Now I have a Genos and S970 for smaller gigs. Personally I think it is easier to stay with the same brand. In your case the 1000. Same OS, most same styles and voices, VH etc. Much easier to built play lists and go back and forth ... I thought about the 1000 a few times, but it would be a steep learning curve for me, starting from scratch etc. The S970 is perfect for what it does for smaller gigs. My main board is the Genos of course.  In your case the PA4X. Good luck whatever you decide. You can't go wrong with what's out there today ...  Eric

I have the Pa4x too and there’s no way I’m parting with that gem, I’ve written in the past I believe it has an edge on the Genos for live play. Not sure the how or why but since using the Genos I seem to be getting more positive comments and rebooking at gigs. Could be I’m spending quite a bit of time working/rehearsing. My wife who really doesn’t care what I have as an arranger commented a few times now, this Genos is the best one of them all.
