For those who enjoy seeing the top modelers compared...
Comparing the Soldano SLO-100 Model with the AXE FX

As the per the current QC debates, I feel these videos to me are becoming less relevant.
The Kemper, Axe, Helix and QC are all great and capable of producing amazing sounds - this is already proven.
There are much bigger differences in the set up, playing/fingers etc. so if any comparison puts 1 above the other its usually a set up issue.
Now when people are deciding what to buy, the question will be more around:
1) Form factor
2) Ease of getting a sound vs flexibility
3) Functions
4) Price - although most are high end
5) Other - brand loyalty, established product vs newbie, artist endorsement ( which seems to be less of interest than the Valve days!), promotion etc.
