I'll tell you my view on them, in the words of Tony The Tiger: They're G-r-r-r-r-r-r-reat! I've got one, got it for £140, its sturdy (mainly metal not plastic) has 16 different ''scene's'' on board for most standard software, comes with a PC based editor, its easy to use, easy to program, looks good and is cheap. It even has 4 different colour lights on it! Amazing!
