Hello,
also dropping prizes doesn't mean discontinued nevertheless must be adopted they will be ready for new models to come.

That is because there are no efforts to improve the OS of Pa900 like they did with Pa4x-Update (Fill-Mode, Fill-Mode-Lock, better MP3-Compression-Encoding ....).

But even missed updates since two years to restore the pa800 accustomed features Voice Presets (to be memorizable in Presets/STS) and Style-Preferences (Chord Recognition, Velo Control etc) to be memorizable in Presets/STS.

Now the pa600 is $950 (instead of $1150) and the pa900 is $1600 (instead of $1900)

Hold your breath for kora's new arrangers...

...body which allow you to better operate arranger, more buttons switches on board, better and more keys, but seems for you is just same.
well ..... following your comparing skills Pa600 is same as Pa3x just different box, less buttons on board, no sampler, no helicon etc...
Shocked

No at all, the Pa3XLe body is constructed on aluminium with high quality piano style 76 keys that use true metal springs similar as Fatar Italy series and not a plastic bending keybed. Also the panel buttons are high quality same as PA3X, Pa4X series. Considering today Korg discount prices the Pa3XLe on stores at 1500 US dollars is a big deal because the keybed spring feeling and high quality metal body and construction with wood finishing speech from themselves.

Hi Friends:

Alfredokiwi +1, you are absolutly right.-

A comparission between PA900 and PA3xle have no sense.-
Just comparing plastic buttons on PA3xle and silicone buttons on PA900, aluminium case, and a better keybed, just these three items justifyes going PA3xle instead of PA900.-
PCM samples seems to be the same, but this must be checked (PA3xle have a little more).-
Other item don't mention by Alfredokiwi is the capability on encreasing storage memory via micro sd card.-
Recently i bought one and its fantastic, perhaps the best partner for my Kronos 2.-
With regards.
Eduardo
