I have to disagree with those who are saying USB 2 is not important for two reasons:

1 - Those of us who upgraded from the T2 to T3 know that loading times are faster for everything USB on the T3, and that we are finally able to make use of the player and HD recorder which used to take literally HOURS to manage.

2 - If Ketron was cheap and used USB 1 to save less than $5, it stands to reason, that there are a lot of other cost savers under the hood that you don't want to know about.
