I really don't understand why other manufacturers don't try to compete with this product spec - it's ideal.
I've used this for touring & studio use for several years - it's light, reliable, really programmable, looks cool, *feels* great and packs a lot of functionality.
The editor software is a little fiddly, but I've used far worse.
Cons: It could be cheaper and the side function buttons are quite hard to access
Highly recommended, nonetheless.
