The more I read the more the midi unit starts to sound like a better choice. I had a Digitech Vocalist II a number of years back. Yes all the automation was very nice. I to worry that with one of the other units I'll look like Mr.Ed counting with my foot.
I can't go the more expensive units at this time. Some of the reviews of the TC helicon G & G-XT state that anything other then simp-le triads mess the thing up. At times even minor chords will cause confusion. My midi unit was never confused.
