Miden....I actually miss my Pa KB for the TC unit alone, with that said I have used many Digitech & Tc units in teh past mostly rack-mounts....but I will agree TC Helicon is my favorite. About 2 months ago Fran & I demoed the Harmony M at a large chain music store in the area the salesman dodnt know how to hook it up properly but I could tell from what we heard it was TC Helicon quality all the way......but I was waiting for the new arrangers to come to market at that time......now that the T3 is here & all previous Yamaha models have a sub par VH...I will have to go for a Harmony M for some of the reasons you have stated here.......flexibility to use with any arranger like my Tyros & Kb's in teh future....and Midi controllers for recording with my PC....its definitly top quality build & sound for sure........& the bang for the buck is incredible. I'll be ordering one next week for sure along with a few other things I need.

Thank you for your review its been very helpful....
