I too am very interested to know what the general feeling is with  
this. I was going to get Lyson QT but was told that they are to be  
discontinued and was advised to use Small Gamut instead in my 3000.  
Lyson reckoned that the 3000 was fine for this purpose and would need  
no profiling to work with their QT.
