John,
I know me ... and I know that in the heat of a live moment, I will start pushing buttons, tweaking settings, and I want the fastest, most powerful processor available for high stress moments. I don't expect it to sound much different - maybe the live guitars will impress me, but TBH - I'd be happy if it sounded just the same as the SD7, but with more horsepower. For a more casual, or more predictable player - the SD7 is well above average. I just know that it's like putting a 4 cylinder engine in a sports car ... it's working at maximum too much of the time. I want power. I want headroom, and I want the best available in any chosen category. My fans deserve it, and I deserve it. I have chosen to work in this industry, and using the best tools available is the most effective way I know to hone my craft.
I have no regrets on getting the SD7. In fact - if I didn't, I wouldn't have had this rebirth to the Ketron Kamp, so it's all a matter of serendipity. This is a serious beast, with wonderful features, and sound, but as someone who pushes the limits of an instrument, I need something that I can redline without crashes. I'm an odd duck, and I know it ... but I want what I want when I want it. Meg Ryan taught me that in When Harry Met Sally.
