I would prefer it has the speakers included, although not necessarily built in, detachable for those who do not wish to take them to a gig would be the best of both worlds.
Quality of them could be of the average arranger quality for me. All of my work is done in the studio and for output I go straight to the board and bypass the speakers, however when I am composing the tune I need a decent speaker to work with.

I should also say, that if they want to sell me a hard drive....include it already installed and ready to go. Too many problems associated with trying to get these accessories to work after the fact for me.

For the rumored amount of this board, for me to see the value, it will have to have all the goodies with it.
jam on,
Terry
