Whilst I agree that more memory would be awesome, the variable config
of the P3 does allow you to create 12 banks - songs - although each
track can only have a max of 4 patterns. I've played gigs that lasted
2+ hours using only a P3 (audiences very kindly suggested they felt
like longer) and I don't believe at any point lack of variation was an
issue. 

Like all limitations, a bit of creativity can take you a long way.

I guess if you play 12 songs in your first set you could always reload
an alternate bank of 12 at half time via sysex? Or reprogram the
pattens live? 

But yeah, I'd like more memory too.. 8-)
