Equally important (at least to me) is the ergonomic shape & weight distribution of the speaker. One of the things that appeals to me about the SxA100, compared to the Mackie SRM450, is its ergonomic shape & better distribution of weight (balance) while transporting, as well as the better placed built in carry handle. The SRM450 is not only heavy, but because of its slick slippery surface, difficut to manuever. How is the SRM350 in these regards?

Glenn, I'm surprised to hear you say that the SxA100 only puts out 'slightly more' volume than the SRM350, considering the fact that the Sxa100 is: 430 total watts (350 LF+80 HF) vs 195 total watts (165 LF + 30HF) total watts on the SRM350.

As before, I'm anxiously awaiting your review and upcoming comparison report of the EV 360's to the afore mentioned.
