I've used the GNX3 for some 5 or 6 years now, having been through the old pods and not really liking them. The XT wasn't bad, but the X3 floor thingy is a great sounding emulator for the price, and also the build quality looks pretty bomb-proof. So I think that will be the front end on the new system. This is, after all, about reliability as well as sound.
