Victor, A bit of wisdom that may and may not apply to the RC 50 but has applied to MANY things I've bought, upgraded, swapped, sold, horse traded etc: THe newest version is NOT always the best. In fact, after having spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on music stuff, I frequently wait to buy the newest versions so the creator has time to iron out the bugs that slipped through the cracks. Quite often, WE are the focus group, the test group of new devices, software etc. I remember this well in the first days of Digidesign where I would call with an issue, they'd ask me to repeat what happened. Then there would be silence and they would say, "Oh cool! I think I know what that is. I'll get back to you." Think of the Jupiter 8, the old tweed Fender Supers and Twins, the Tube Screamer, the migration from analogue tape to digital (both have extreme advantages over the other). Newer is not necessarily better. Sometimes it is, often it's not. For Digidesign (now Avid), MOSTLY it's improvement... but often it's four steps forward, one terrible step back. With time, marketing hype starts to sound like white noise. Just my simple headed opinion!!! Results may vary!
