Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about that one.

You might want to try several times, first doing a send/recieve of 
one voice, then two voices, four voices, and so forth to see if there 
is an upper limit to how much USB bandwidth those hefty AN* bulks 
dump eat up. Not all USB MIDI Interface/driver combos are up to the 
tasks and require some 'massging' when dealing with the way oversized 
AN SysEx...

Never used either, not the person to ask :-/ Perhaps somebody else 
will chime in...I'd say stick with the Lite version for a couple 
weeks to see if you actualy use it for more than just your AN/DX 
editor/librarian needs then decide if the upgrade is worth your $80.
