Paul;
Welcome to the list. Seems from the early part of the posting that perhaps
you came to the list too late. Most list members are in reverse mode of
what you recently went through (divesting yourself of a lot of gear).
Your biggest risk in purchasing the E20 from abroad (and sometimes even
domestically), as I understand it, is the potential incompatibility of the
included software/interfaces with domestic PCs and software. It is my
understanding that this poses a real problem to people who have made such
purchases, rendering certain aspects of the 'package' virtually unusable.
Again, welcome to the list. Question... where and how did you relieve
yourself of three 3-Ts??????? Inquiring minds want to know!!!
