Com down in price? Are you refering to eBay prices because you sure as heck can't 
find one retail anymore :-( Hope Waldorf puts it all back together someday. And yes, 
eBay prices for XT's  are within reason.

Last I played a MicroQ KB I had a hard time remebering why I was so impressed when 
I auditioned the MicroQ rack? I know I'm giving it short change unfairly...I *think* N*M 
still had Q racks but I might be mistaken.

I have to say though - every time I take time to check out a Virus, or Micro Q, or ION I 
always come home and fire up the AN1x and start knocking out a few Voices. It's kind 
of a benchmark to determine the severity of the G.A.S. affecting me.
