I think my resistance to using a laptop live is as much a durability issue as anything. I use a lot of software at home in the
studio. I just think that one drop and the laptop is gone as opposed to a well-built keyboard that will (maybe) take a few drops
before it flies apart. A cheap keyboard is likely not too much more durable than a laptop.

Of course, I was just making fun. I'm as lazy as the next guy in my old age, but at 5.6 lb., the MBP is not much of a 'lug', and holds a lot more sound beyond the VB3. I'm set up in ten minutes and everything runs rock-solid. My commitment to a software rig was not made lightly, but for my various and varied musical endeavors, I do see it as a logical and sensible move towards the future.
