Yes, after posting, I saw the posts about the SE, clearly it would be a better option, even if I like the big knob :). I don't care about the color display and I'm not convinced about 24/96. But keeping (well, I'll keep it anyway) the touch an put a bit more money on the rest is not bad too. Interesting products these Nads, thanks !
