[A6] Does anone have both an A6 and an Ion?

[sayersafe-andromeda at yahoo.com]

Thanks for all of the info so far.... it seems that the A6 and Ion offer different sound
capabilities and that where they do overlap the A6 is far superior. 

As Robert can tell you.... my ears don't always agree with common opinion. I like the
concept of the Nord Mod G2 and love the interface of the G2x. The general character of the
G2 sound is really not pleasing to me after owning it for several weeks. I'm not talking
sound variety/capability, but the sound character. So, I see the G2x as a lot of money
sitting on my desk and the sound is not inviting me to use it.
