I based my acessment primarily on discussion of the unit on this list.
Perhaps that's not really fair, since we're primarily dealing with very
experienced users here, who are dealving into the depths of the unit,
with no need to discuss the obvious and easy to use features.

That said, I've seen enough discussion of features the EDP has to make
me want one rather badly. Learning curve or not, I can see it being
something I'd use often, perhaps in conjunction with the Repeater I
said I liked in the last msg I sent.
