   ANYone who's done that for any amount of time would also know that but ONLY   
   IF they pay attention and actually CARE about anything other than their own   
   inflated, Selfish egos.

   All best described by the word INCOMPETENT!   
      
   They don't know, or Want to, or Care about what it actually means to be a   
   Band!   
      
   Just because they're 'in' a band doesn't mean they ARE a band, because the   
   ONLY way to do that is to actually be a Genuine FUNCTIONAL PART of the band!   
      
   It's just like what's *supposed* to be a part of anything else, but instead   
   is dysfunctional - rather than being Genuinely a Part of that system, it is   
   instead a Problem, because of being Counterproductive to that system!

   I can't wait to get an XR18 so I can actually try them both   
   out...conveniently!

   That's the painful part - those few, or even one, who tries to pick up all   
   the NEEDLESS slack, tend to burn out and at very least, not enjoy something   
   that *should* otherwise be very enjoyable.   
      
   In other words, BUMMER!!!

   They Crap. They *seem* to be somewhat compact, but that's a gimmick   
   too...although their sound  output is compact, while their price is anything   
   but.

   You're going to play solo but have all those other parts in the form of   
   recordings to make it sound like you're not?

   I learned that I'll do that ONLY for recording ;)
