8 years ago I remember a 26U was worth lugging around, then a 16U, then an 8U packed front and back, then a 4U w/ Slant Mixer.
Now I want a small FX rack short depth, and a laptop.
It won't get any better than that.
And I just can't replace certain hardware like the PCM70, SE-1X and XITE-1. No friggin' way.
