As a happy user of the old plain Boomerang, I can tell you that I'd happily pay $242 for another one. It's apparently easy to upgrade any 'Rang to the Plus model by swapping out 1 chip. Some of the earliest 'Rangs need one more modification that requires sending the unit back to Texas. My 'Rang is one of the older ones that will need both mods and I think the cost would be right around $80 to do it (plus shipping, etc.). After the mod the only thing differentiating an upgraded 'Rang from a new Plus model is some lettering on the top panel. So, if we do the math: $242 plus $80 plus shipping is less than a shiny new 'Rang Plus. Check out http://www.boomerangmusic.com for more info and contact information. (FYI, Mike Nelson, the email contact, is known to be a pretty busy guy. So if you don't have any luck with email, give them a call.) The gory details about the upgrade are at http://www.boomerangmusic.com/V2upgrade.htm So, after all that I'd say go for it. Even without the upgrade it's a great piece of gear. Good luck, Todd Pafford -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE9AXRz3inqRV6ILrYRAor2AJ9oe3n5KMVCM+7nTrd+XjCg8xMAWQCfbIeL 0kypM6sh4BGmAN1HDyT+2mU= =5Orv -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
