Appreciate your post Diki. I hope to find a GW8 locally here to check out these unbalanced styles you mention. I sure am spoiled with the 800 ease of editing - a breeze. In fact, that whole board is designed for a tech novice like me.

I dunno. I'd still prefer to put some effort into an E80, but they are very pricey.

I have so much work to do and songs to complete, it's ludicrous to think about adding anything else at this point.
