Already enough posts about the virtues of the ProVari and the Mini, I just wanted to thank everyone here that helped me decide to invest in one. It. is. worth. every. dime. and I'm not saying that because I want to sell more ProVaris, they certainly don't need any help with that, and it's not because I would feel dumb dropping 2 bills and then not liking it, or I want to feel special and like a member of the club. It is, flat out, better, in every way I have had to compare it in just a day. I have to admit it and thank everyone who helped me get off the fence about it. I doubted it, highly, skeptically and enthusiastically, until the end. Even my wife isn't saying, it's just a battery, today, although I did hear that for quite a while before today. I regret not buying one before all the 510's, the egos, the pass throughs, the twists and spinners. They did go to a good home, my folks quit 50+ years of analogs with them, and I did learn, and those devices all accommodated that learning and helping them, but man, I should have done this way before. And I'm just really really glad I didn't buy more "cheap mistakes". If anyone is considering buying a "proper" mod, and doesn't think that it is worth it, or if they should do it, my advice would be buy one. If you hate it, and find it's not worth what you paid, pretty sure you can sell it. My wife will probably be needing one, and waiting for me to stop laughing at her to buy one. and waiting, and waiting. Cheers all, thanks again.
