Danny, Bob, Mac, and John,

Thanks for your insights about this.....coming from the four of you, I've definitely changed my mind (each foot controller I was considering was somewhat pricey as well) and will not get one. You did exactly as I had hoped....you were blunt and "to the point". I respect your comments tremendously and am appreciative of your time in getting me "set straight".

I'll just keep using my foot as a metronome......

Cecil
