OK - I had the Nano out 3 times this week for Holiday parties and here's what I've decided:

1st - it sounds great. It has lots of bass, and although they are very directional, the high end is smooth and even.
2nd - it's SO lightweight .... love the load-in.
3rd - it's priced right.

Now, for the down sides:

1st - It's TOO directional. The Bose fills the room so much better and makes vocal monitoring much better.
2nd - the poles and wires take longer to setup and breakdown than the Bose tower
3rd - The price is not enough of a factor to sway me away from the Compact.

so ... my decision?
I'm keeping the Bose in the rig. I knew it was a long shot for me to be turned from the good side of the force, and my initial reaction proved to be true - I'm a BoseMAN.

I'll entertain offers on this 100%mint Nano, but it'll most likely end up as a rehearsal PA in my home studio.
For local buyers - $750 takes it with the add-on Nano Pole kit.
