yes, right
Time will tell...
And the time start to shown that the right way to take is the PC X86 system Open Source and not the old dated and limited DSP ( AMD quad core is the new future too and cost about 100 euro)
The right product must have the full integration hardware/software system to manage in realtime the all musical application that you like, without limitation.
need also that the system is able to open multiple sentence and ASIO ports:

You don't like one sound or you need one external hardware sound expander?? Just load and manage in realtime the VST's or ASIO sounds engine that you like better ( garritan GM2 is amazing too) or ton of the all available module.
USA Company like Trinity:
http://www.trinityaudiogroup.com/ start to sell this new amazing product too, less for 1000 US dollars! Where you can load the all VST too.
600 US dollars you can buy one PC laptop and load the same sounds, I don't understand why to pay xxxx dollars for one closed, recycled and dated hardware products.
Time will tell...and for sure will also slow slow kill this all dated embedded closed system.
we will see....
