WHICH ARRANGER ARE ACTUALLY THE MOST EXPENSIVE ?

Since the Korg Pa5X was released, everyone has been complaining about its high price.
High price..?
NO.
The price for a 76 keys was around NOK 50,000, while a Yamaha Genos2 costs NOK 49,000, and the Ketron Event 76 costs NOK 63,000.

The strange thing is that Yamaha and Korg cost about the same, while Korg has an innovative interface never seen before, a new OS, new style format plus a number of new functions that no one else offers.

Yamaha also has some new features that only they have, but cannot be compared to Korg, as the Genos2 is largely the same as the Genos1.

And what about Ketron ?
Event is significantly more expensive, has some new features, but an interface that is hopelessly complicated and non-intuitive.
Event is probably the best sounding and best mixed, while Genos2 is the worst mixed with disappointing sound.
The Pa5X is generally well mixed, but shows its true strength when simple edits are made.
Genos2 requires extensive edits to perform as expected, just like Genos1.

So the Ketron Event is by far the most expensive model, where everything is perfectly mixed and gives the best sound.
But the winner is the Korg Pa5X, which is the cheapest of all, all things considered.
And it has a user interface others can only dream of.

I have only had the Genos1 in addition to the Pa5X that I have, but have spoken to several people who have had all 3, and have watched just about every video there is, as well as reading the manuals.

So I take the liberty of claiming what I do.


Guess which model I'm considering buying (again) ?
Yamaha DGX-670.

In my opinion, this is Yamaha's Best Buy, with a build quality that no other Yamaha model can match and superb sound as well as one of the best keybeds on the market.
For only NOK 10,000.

I totally agree the G2 is far more expensive over here followed by Ketron and cheapest Pa5x which has major updates and upgrades.
The Ketron from your experience has too many flaws
The G2 for me isnt worth the money 
The Pa5x has bugs but is far more entertaining and has so much more potential

@Colin

Thank you for your comment.
You have had the G2, and although you were very positive, you realized that the Pa5X was better and has far greater potential.

I would like to have an Ketron Event, but it costs; - A LOT of money...
