I agree, the big screen gives you an instant look at all the settings. I
also like the fact that the sub receiver is always on. I rarely use the
RIT. Its a great unit and the only additions should be 6 meters and a sub
receiver equal to the main one. I would hope an Orion III is put on the
same platform.
