that's what im currently leaning towards to. and $1000+pickups vs 400+pickups..
an MFX unit is a definite because a) i can use it with headphones b) soo many tone opportunities w/ different amp sims c) can use just the fx with the jsx (no need to buy reverb/delay/phaser pedals) d) i can use it for recording.
EDIT: but im also debating just getting a nice 6 and tuning it down to B standard.. i blame the Rotor thread and knowing how good they feel and sound lol. 6 or 7 tossup
