I've had my Standard since '08 and it still blows me away for direct record purposes and I like using it live as well. I've been eyeing the II but other than some of the nice upgraded features like assignable control knobs, bigger screen, headphone jack, USB, ethercon connection with MFC, etc are the amp models and cabinets THAT much more realistic and dynamic to justify dumping my Standard and shelling out the $2200 for the II? Not trying to start a battle or anything, I'm just curious if I'll get that same fall off my chair feeling like I did the first time I jacked into my Standard or will be like, yeah it is nice and the upgraded features are cool but did I really get my money's worth?
