No need to apologize, Donny...these are only our opinions.

I wouldn't say the VH-2 is up to the quality of Helicon or Digitech units. I remember using a Digitech harmonizer many years ago, in the late 80's, I believe, and it was pretty good back then, so they have many years of experience that goes towards making their product an excellent unit.

I also said, those really fussy about harmony will usually go with one of the above outboard units, but for general purposes, the VH-2 works a treat for me and many others.

So, if you must have the best...get a Helicon or Digitech.

For people like me, who only use the harmonizer for the very basics, and for vocoding, it works pretty good, and I don't need to hook up extra equipment.

It does pay however, to dig into the VH-2 and customize the presets, as it can make a big improvement, but, again, still not up to the Helicon and Digitech.

I'm not much of a fan of the harmonizer in general, as none sound totally realistic to my ears, and many people tend to overuse them.
