The only time I tried an RMC system was over three years ago. It was 
a Godin nylon string model (don't remember which one) driving a 
Roland VG-8. It sounded fine to me. I don't remember now where I 
heard the complaints about poor performance  with RMC pickups and the 
VG, but it was probably a posting on the VG list.

As I mentioned, my own system consists of a Roland-ready Strat, 
Roland VG-8, Roland GR-30, and a Yamaha G50. Tracking is pretty good 
with this system, especially with the VG which uses the audio signal 
directly rather than converting to MIDI.
