Tony the new TC VL2 is above and beyond anything out there previously. I've used most on stage in teh past... The fact that it can track & recognize audio signals, from guitar, KB, Mp3, and give you up to 8 part harmonies with so much quality, efx,& fluctuations is fantastic...no need to set the key each time either...just plug in and sing. I would say the price is well justified for a piece of gear of vocal processor this quality. I will seriously try one tonight with my gear........and will certainly post some demo songs when I get mine here to record in the studio.
