    How big different between factory cabs and commercial cabs?

    Too pricey ... really - IR packs start at $15 and average around $30. Considering the amount of work that goes into them and the benefit of a new palette of sounds - seems like a bargain to me.

    Running out of power - bug?

    Unfortunately its called compromise - if you are close to the CPU limit you might hit (maybe random) problems ..... you could run some external pedals if you absolutley need lots of FX ... or just buy an AXE-FX II then you have lots of CPU to play with :)

    Got my Axe Fx.....but not impressed so far.
