In case you haven't already done so,you can read an English language description of the VS-890 on the Roland Canada website while admiring the color picture of it.I've had a VS-880EX since 12/98 and my current feeling is that I'm going to stick with it until the generation after this coming product.I personally am sick of new products coming out 2 weeks after I've finally mastered the operation of the one I already have.If,however you are considering a 1st purchase,know that the 890 has 24 bit ada converters and a compessed 24 bit recording mode (aka "VSR") and the CD Write button that also appears on the 1880.If you're patient,you'll be able to get a VS880EX cheaper soon than you would this week.My guess is that Roland will "launch" the 890 at the summer NAMM for the US market (it's already out in several countries)Cheers!
