need to followup my last post re Genesys:
DNJ, I realize i never answered what was "awesome".
OK: here goes:
1) it does everything but iron your shirts onboard.
no need for computer, cd burner, etc. imports every format.
2)easy to operate live--sliders, controls well laid out. no
touchscreen, which i hate..nice button layout instead.
3)really well built, solid.
4)Dave at Gem will spend mucho time on phone/email with you if you need it--astonishing, the personal service.
5)IMHO:ABSOLUTELY BEST LOOKING BOARD OUT THERE..SLEEK, ELEGANT, MAKES EVERY OTHER UNIT LOOK LIKE JUNK. PHOTOS CAN'T DO IT JUSTICE..PEOPLE ACTUALLY WALK UP TO ADMIRE THE UNIT AND COMMENT

that said, it's still not best Kb for me, but at this point
I'm not sure what would be, am rethinking it all...
