I've heard back from FAS and I could box my MKII up right now and send it back if I felt the need. I had to really weigh this decision carefully, since I just bought and sold an FM3 to get here in the first place.
I would want extra CPU to compensate for the use of FR IRs. I only would use those at home at my desk, so there is no need for everything to be in one preset at all. Also, who knows if the FR IR process is fully optimized yet? We might or might not see future reductions in CPU use in that application. It's not a given but I wouldn't rule it out, either.
I can recognize that instinctive "but but it's not fair" voice in my head but I also know that voice is 100% emotional and 0%
thoughtful. It's my job to acknowledge, understand, and govern that voice in my head; because that voice is
not rational.
Extra CPU is a great thing! If I needed it I'd start this return process now, but I really do not.
Now someone please tell me I'm right so I can tall that voice, "See, someone agrees with me!"
