Well #1565 is sort of going now, and it has the 8 choir so I'll play about with it for a bit, but the advantage of the split choir is having all the similar pitched voices together it's like having 2 choirs, the disadvantage is when they meet in the middle.

Pallas? Yeah, most of 'The Sentinel' is pretty good, I don't think it's dated too well though. It's wonderful if you need cheering up and nothing but cheesy pitchshifted narration can hit the spot. Especially the bit about the giant glass dome..

And the bog-standard 8-voice still rules my world..

I only have access to M-tron at present, my favourite is the split choir which is the 8 choir but with the trebles on the right and the basses on the left, gets abit awkard in the middle but I am planning to have one choir sound and this seems the best compromise.
