i agree, i love grace products, but doug's unending praise for all things ever touched by Mike "King Midas" Grace goes a little overboard sometimes. i am so ready for 24bit, i almost have to buy this box and give it a shot. i'm stuck right on the fence though. i paid the deposit to cascade. i used to have the #1 spot on the list, but frank was less than committed to my keeping that spot for some reason. but, i really can't justify the cost in any rational way unless i sell the v3. huge roll of the dice.
