Hello Spalding,
I agree with you. I was a tad disappointed to know that I could NEVER replace the 900 live with the 800. They are just miles apart, each with their pluses. So, I decided to leave the 900 in the car and work out a bunch of tunes on the 800 that will sound much better. I have enough energy that I plan to lug both around for a while and offer my audience a really neat variety of music. It's for them, not for me, so I can't be lazy now that I got myself into this pickle

With that said, I'm having fun with BOTH boards - really, the best of two worlds. I should be happy.
