I sold my Prodigy V1 and Protege, along with all the miscellaneous extra switches, took the proceeds and got a V3. I LOVE it! It's the best
device I've ever owned. I really think you won't be disappointed. Very basic in design, not much can go wrong, no wires or soldering or sanding or voodoo. Very nice device that should last a long time, and it looks so pretty, too. If anyone was put off by other PS devices and afraid to try them again, I don't think you need to worry about this one. I'm very happy with it.
