Been thinking of getting one. Roland's baby V-Accordion. 12 lbs

Demos sound pretty good, but no-one down here carries them (no-one over here carries ANYTHING but WS's and cheap arrangers

).
I've ruined a couple a semi-decent real 120 bass monsters trying to keep up with live band volumes, and don't want the hassle of a pickup and amp.
So... anybody given Roland's baby a tryout?
