I have a GSN, seems big and awkward, but is very very sharp..... almost to
the point of embarassing for a zuikoholic to have to admit. The problem is
it usually stays home because of its size. Also it is very quiet, but
quieter than an XA? Maybe, I'll have to compare them as soon as I find
another XA.
