personally Bill I've weened myself off using VH as it's just too quirky and fake to suffice for the real thing ....lets face it it's bad enough using styles and backing tracks, etc, vs a live band to camouflage what we do on stage to perform & no one cares anyway but the player.. .......
but my voice always gets me thru just fine without it.
I dont miss the VH at all,.... I have to thank Yamaha for VH2 as that was the clincher that woke me up.

Good luck with whatever you choose you dont have many choices...Id try it before you buy it..
