If the software was smart enough, you wouldn't need to save 250 MB 
of data every time you make a small parameter change.  The program 
could easily keep track of what has changed since the last save and 
then save only those portions of the data (just parameter data or 
individual samples if necessary) that have been updated.

This saving method has been in place for at least 8 years now.  For 
example, the Roland S-760 has a "Save Parameters" function that 
doesn't require a full sample save in order to update your patches.

I know this sounds a "bit" arrogant, but you guys are not really 
thinking this through before posting your reservations.

Okay, now that I sound like a complete know-it-all, I should say for 
the record that I do indeed understand that there are advantages and 
disadvantages to each approach.
