and actually they don't really look that neutral to me, they look coolish and very much like the PeizoTone Seleniums (pretty). Let's see, the PeizoTOne Seleniums make up the neutral quad core of the Roland DVinci system? Out before the HPs? I do believe...

Don't get me wrong, I'd have an HP in my arsenal here if I could as well, and they are certainly helping move things forward...

But maybe our history needs to be clear.
