All,

I, too, will be interested in hearing how the Electro stands up to the
competition in the shootout. It's definitely an interesting design. I
doubt it's for me, because I almost always gig with the CX-3 and my AN1x/S4
combo, so an all-in-one design with no drawbars has less appeal. (I say
this while gearing up for a pickup gig on Friday night where I will only
carry the CX-3 ...)

Regards,

-BW
