I'm glad you were able to return them for a refund but it's still my 
impression that you've come down with a case of 'featuritis', i.e, 
you're focusing on perceived limitations rather than what the 
boxes really have to offer - a real time, interactive programming 
interface.

The fact the editors don't currently run under XP is hardly 
grounds for dimissing the functionality of either box, IMO. Haven't 
you had enough problems with your SW1000XG/PLG150AN 
combo saving and storing voices, the most *basic* of 
operations, that you might consider dedicated hardware a 
worthwhile alternative? It appears you barely spent enough time 
(how many days did you you own them?) with the two boxes to 
make an informed decision. Still, you seem relieved to be done 
with it so I suppose all is well that ends well.
