I agree that the Yamaha looks very pricy against say, a Mustang Mini or I which do very much the same thing. The Yamaha appears to have a very simple UI more like a Roland Cube than the Mustang's menu driven system. Don't the Mustangs have an auxiliary socket? My VT40+ does.
The ZOOM G3 also looks like a cool tool. I'd be interested to hear your opinions on it.
