Just anecdotal Mark, but I'm hearing more and more often of amps *begging* 
to get a C-Leg, only to be terribly disappointed in it.  Either the 
training is not there or the expectations are too high or perhaps the hype 
of the advertising just doesn't come through with function.  It's a 
terribly expensive "boat anchor" to take up closet space and does us all an 
injustice if this is the case.
