I agree with you Derek. I found the 2600 to be very light and the great part was that it uses the incredibly fast SD card. The same favorite songs list from the 7000 can be used for loading song setups almost instantly. Most of my 7000 setups worked fine with just a little tweaking of voicing. The only problems that I had were that the display was hard to read, and there was only one foot pedal port.
