Donny, I'm hoping it won't come to that. I should have the replacement Audya in another week or so. The next ship load is on the way. These are supposed to have updated sound board that allows for sound expansion chips to be more easily added.
They will also have the latest OS, Sounds and Styles already loaded.
However, in the unlikely case the Audya doesn't work out, I want to have another plan in place. In any case I wouldn't do anything until after I received the new Audya and after Roland announces any new models it may release.
As I said, I will continue to use the E50 for moving around. The "big" board will pretty much remain in place at Ernest's at least until 2010.
