You are correct sir. I had the regular R4. I guess I was more upset by Edirol's response to me than anything else so I wanted folks to be aware of their product support, etc.
I wasn't trying to bust your balls Mark I promise.
I posted some info in the Team R4 thread about a recent experience I had with support for the R4 and R4 Pro. It appears that you can get direct support from the Roland Systems Group. I had a great conversation with the lead tech over there, Ted Rosen.
I believe that the stick units do sound good on their own for the price point that they sell for. But (you knew there was a but) there is alot to be said about the mods being done on both units. I really do feel like once Doug Oade modded my R4 it sounded better than the 7xx boxes. I feel the same way with my current Oade modded R4 Pro.
Again there is so much info regarding both boxes that you'll go crazy reading all of it. Pros and cons. Just count me as a satisfied R4 and R4 Pro owner.
