Starting to see prices on AxeFX2+MFC fall into the 1200-1500$ range and I'm really having a hard time not posting the ax8 up to try and upgrade. I've got an Engl poweramp to sell as well, so between the two I think I could cover the cost, I would just likely end up with a Mark1 or 2 with an MFC mark 1 or 2, rather than XL+ & mark3. OR I could maybe just get an XL+ on its own and use a cheaper midi controller for the time being.
I know a large number of us here use the AX8 by preference rather than by not being able to afford the flagship, but for those of us that bought the ax8 because of the affordable entry into the Fractal world....this is really a pretty awesome time to try and get a few pennies back out of it and finally get that rack.
Then again....could also probably just sit tight for another year or two, save some pennies here and there, eventually buy the axefxIII outright and still have the ax8 for the portable/backup rig.
Decisions, amirite?
