It sounds like this box has a better bang-for-the-buck than the Kenton
Pro Solo.  Of course, the prices vary on the Kenton depending on the
exchange rates, but I think I ended up paying around 200 dollars for my
pro solo, maybe a bit more.

Comparing it to the middle JK model, the one without audio in/out, the
JK gives you an extra AUX output, and more LFO options.  The kenton has
no CV trimmers that are user-accessable, but mine came in perfect tune
and have never felt a need to adjust it.  I have been quite impressed
with the Kenton Pro-solo, although it sounds like the JK might be
a better deal.  The pro-solo does have all the paramaters silk-screened
onto the faceplate, something I did not see on the JK.  Programming the 
Pro-Solo is pretty easy.

Of course, I am going to just wait and try the 100 dollar Paia assignable
8-output MIDI-CV kit.  If it functions decently, it will blow everything else
on the market away in the price/performance catagory.  Latest word
is that they will be ready in January.
