Yes, I think the flexibility is worth it...most of the time.  Sometimes I
yearn for the "good old days" when all I had was my Digitech GSP-2101.
Granted, my current set-up sounds much better, but there was a certain 
ease of
programming that I miss.  Now, in order to program a new sound I have to
set-up a patch in the Switchblade, tweak my MPX-1, and then program my
footcontroller.  I know it doesn't sound like much, but it's enough to
occasionally keep me from picking up my guitar and creating something new.
