Update: I've just discovered the Roland VP-7 Voice Processor and that it includes a headset microphone (the Roland DR-HS5) too.
Does anyone own or have any experience with either the VP-7 or DR-HS5?

I'm particularly attracted to the Roland VP-7 because it's so compact & simple to operate.
It doesn't include the bells and whistles of the TC Helicon VoiceLive processors like 'audio looping' + other perks,
but I simply need nice sounding vocal reverb and basic yet realisitic sounding duo/trio vocal backup harmony voices.
The VP-7 looks most compact & lightweight, and while the TC Helicon VoiceLive Touch can be positioned at eye level too, it's quite a bit larger & heavier. The TC Helicon 'Harmony M' appears best suited for being set on the floor. Is this true, or can it be positioned similar as the below pic of the Roland VP-7 with the microARRANGER (see below). It would be interested to hear an A/B comparison between the Harmony M & VP-7.

I'm really interested in finding out how the VP-7's 'vocal harmony sound quality' compares with the TC Helicon, esp the VoiceLive Touch.
Does anyone here own, or have auditioned, or better yet, compared the sound of these two units?

I'm anxious to learn if either Roland or TC Helicon will be announcing new model followups to the VP-7 or VoiceLive Touch respectively.
In the meantime, any and all feedback from others here is much appreciated.

here's a pic I found on the internet of the Roland VP-7 perched on the Korg microARRANGER's included music rack.
