I like BIAS a lot more than my old L6 stuff, for sure. It's normally $200, but I got it on sale for $175 during some promo. I believe it's actually on sale now for $170. I have BIAS Amp Professional (opposed to BIAS FX) and use 3rd party VST's for stuff like reverb, delay and overdrive (you can even use the effects from POD Farm if you set it up right). But check out the demo's, man. See if you like it, and try out the BIAS FX demo. The only reason I chose Amp over FX was because I thought the amps sounded like crap in FX versus the Amp version. Probably why they have the option to sync the amps from BIAS Amp over to BIAS FX.
