The hardware is just plain awesome! I love the snake cable it comes with. Sound quality, response of the timecode, the midi and additional inputs on the audio8 are an added bonus too. I'm really trying to get one for myself at the end of this month. BTW, if anyone here wants one, just pm me; I'll be able to hook ya up at GC!
Sorry about sounding like a used car salesman, but yeah i really like it. Yesterday i offered my serato scratch live setup to some friends.

and i WILL miss the cool vertical wave display.
