-almost mandatory grip (same for the M!)
-unfortunate ports location, just silly
-headphone monitoring - wth?
This is already screaming for a mark ii..the 'fixes' are so obvious, especially considering the supposed target market. Not mad at them for trying, use it what its made for (open gate, and ibis!). Otherwise it's not me/you.
THE idea or model line is off to a good start, it wont be hard for them to make the next version a must have.
