Thanks Mac - lot's of work that cutting a pasting - I appreciate it.

I checked out several of the tunes and did a bit of homework. FYI on a couple:

* Some software packages also sound really good (for about half the cost of the SD2)

* Found one freebie for the Mac that has four or five good sounding instruments and installs easily into GarageBand http://www.d.umn.edu/~bold0070/spymac_mirror/projects/instruments.html


I'll mull it over but, I'm leaning toward the SD2 - you're a good salesman!

Thanks!
