Thanks for the info. I've seen prices as low as £725 at Piedog on the 
net. That said, I e-mailed them the other day and they didn't have 
any in stock. A local music store reckons to have them in stock at 
£750 which is where I'll probably end up if I get one. Interestingly, 
the guy in the store knew nothing about the forthcoming DTX3. I've a 
Marshall 8240 Valvestate combo amp at home for guitar use. It's got 
two big speakers that look like 12 inchers. It weighs a ton and I'll 
be putting the kit through that to start with....unless I'm using 
headphones of course!
