We are gently, gradually and elegantly derailing but, as a matter of fact, people from Fractal would (and they actually do) leverage anything when it comes to "show" their competitors "inferiority". This is one of the reasons that pushed me away from the Axe.
What are the features of 4.0 ?

Personally, I refrained from buying anything Fractal (I even declined my FX8 invite) mostly because of the same attitude you describe from both the users (some of them at least) and the owner himself. The sense of superiority from Fractal is strong! Such a turn off.
That said, I'm soooo happy with both my Helix and Kemper. Couldn't be happier :-).

... but the "co" bit rhymes with bro', thus franco becomes francbro', just as SamBrox became SamBro' for me.
OK, OK... it's your name after all, so Gianbro' it is... when I wanna annoy you / rib you / tickle you... hang on... retract that... I mean, put it back... I mean... [brain explodes]

Easy now little monkey... the world is still beautifully gifted with profiles to be played

True.

Aahh... thank you, Gianbro'.

I doubt fractal will have to worry. The real issue with the kemper and why it's taken so long to introduce spring reverb and multiple delays is the CPU power. The axefx CPU power is massively faster than the Kemper.
The Axe II has dual 600 Mhz TigerSHARC processors while the Kemper uses a single 400 Mhz Freescale processor.
Axefx uses one dedicated processor for amp modeling and the other processor for effects. This gives axefx *HUGE* advantages for effects since the kemper has only a single CPU doing both the modeling and the effects processing. So IMO the reason that spring reverb is so long in coming isn't so much due to the ultimate algorithm or user priority but more likely to be trying to balance realistic spring reverb algorithms with the available CPU resources without effecting the actual amp modeling.
OTOH, the amp modeling on the kemper is more realistic IMO...
Jack,
sparked by your post I opened my Strymon Timeline and took a picture of its processor.
It´s a Sharc ADSP-21375 with 266 MHz and 1596 MFlops ... just for Delays.
