Curious in what you feel you gain by selling the first release FX8 just to buy the Mark 2 version since from what I see the most difference is color?
From the product page," In comparison to the original FX8, the new Mark II has an all-black aircraft aluminum bezel and end panels, improved top-panel silkscreen design, an 18dB instrument input pad option, and an even lower noise floor."I'm also under the impression that this is kind of a lateral move.

So the MK II is assembled in China?I too tend to lean towards the all black look if had a choice between the two. I do own the original FX8 and it is already very quiet so this "upgrade" does not mean anything to me. But if given the option of buying one assembled in USA or one that some was done in China, I pick keeping my money home even if it cost a little more. Just my opinion and feelings but do try to understand why manufactures feel they must outsource to overseas to compete it just makes me somewhat sad. Also wish they would have not called the new version Mark II with so little change but this has already been discussed in another post.
