Well, me for one! Of course, I only expect it from the manufacturer, but I DO feel that any piece of gear needs to demonstrate the superiority that it claims. If the manufacturer themselves can't hire a top pro to show it off (or the top pro can't GET it to shine ), why should anyone take their claims seriously...?

You wouldn't buy a car the maker claimed went from 0-60 in under 4 sec. if they NEVER showed it doing it, and no owner ever did either, would you?

Yamaha, Roland (occasionally ), Korg and Ketron ALL know the value of demonstrating what is the BEST that any product can achieve. Personally, I LIKE having these things to listen to. Then if I can't make something as good, at least I am not tempted to blame it on the gear, and buy something else!
