Hi,

I have StringPort . . . I bought it only about 4 weeks ago . . . I'm 
still groping with it's complexity in fact . . . so take my comments 
with a grain of salt.

I think comparing it to the AX50 is like comparing apples and oranges . 
. . the concept sort of seems the same . . . but StringPort seems rather 
a lot more complex.

This may be unfair, but it's a bit like comparing MS Word to Photoshop . 
. . similar, but not really.

I have only had a little experience with StringPort so far (not all of 
it good, BTW) but it presents possibilities that are even above and 
beyond the multiple GR and VG units I also own combined.

I am still trying to get a handle on it.
