I have heard very good things about the ION

One of the biggest sale points for me is that it has BALANCED OUTS!!
I'm so sick of "professional grade" keyboards that you still have to use DI boxes for when you play live.

Also, the big "hoopla" is the accuracy of the knobs and controllers.

Almost all digital synths including VA's is that the values for each knobs are only 8 bit. This means a granularity of only 256 points.
The ION is all 12 bit which will allow for 4096 points of resolution.
Plus the knobs are all 360 degree rotary encoders which means that you dont have to wory about "jumping"
