Don't worry Don, your name isn't 'chas'. In fact, I'm thinking of signing all my future posts 'DonM'. Hope you don't mind .

For the record, The S950 does sound like a nice board 'though I only have first-hand knowledge of the T2, but I've always liked the Korgs better, mostly because of the more creative and adventurous Jazz, Fusion, and New Age styles. I also felt that the drums were better and the styles more dynamic (less limited, compressed, etc.). But, as you pointed out, it's all subjective and in the end, comes down to NEEDS. And although it seems to be largely ignored, I'll say it again...JMO, JMO, JMO.
