I am considering now getting a 260, I have experiance now with the PA + AND THE PX....While im happy with the results i am not blown away and think it may be time for the 260, I read alot where gadget and others mention how valuble it is to have the time delay feature alone and the abilty to do things via PC, So far comparing the px and pa+ while there is a difference its not overwhelming of a difference, anyway the bottom line is I use 4 speakers all the time thats it two tops and two subs, monitors are all in ear now, so will I really notice a difference if I make that type of jump? is it money worth spending, is running aux fed subs better and would the 260 let me do that? I guess wnt you all to make the descision for me lol..Basically what will I gain with the setup I have playing mostly small to medium venues bars etc with the investment of the 260, is time alighnment a big deal with what I do?

Yes, buy the 260. With the extra features and GUI, you will get a better visual of what is going on which will help with your understanding of the process. The 260 will not be the end of your journey but rather the beginning. You will learn on this forum as well as others. The correct set up of DSPs is a topic unto itself. Some people start out as you, just trying to make their PA sound as good as possible but never quite feel like they achieve their goal. They study some more and then try something new, then study more etc, etc. After a while the process becomes of more interest to them than the end result of tuning their PA. So you ask "will I really notice a difference?" The amount of difference you will notice will depend on how deep you dive into the subject.

On a single 260, aux fed subs can only be done if your PA is configured in mono...to do stereo you would need 3 inputs.

As far as I am concerned, time alignment is a big deal in any situation

exactlly, I was a plain old drummer! now I am becoming more interested in the sound and the tweaking, so the 260 should give me more to learn and play with. Im going to order one!
