MOTM

Good choice on the 440!  I'm going to get a second one of those myself.

Comparing the 410 and the 480 is apples to oranges in my view.  The 410 
is more like a phase shifter, a stomp-box-like effect, with built-in 
LFOs.  It's really nice, but quite different from the 480, which is a 
cascaded state-variable filter.  They have different uses.  Listening to 
the sound samples is a good way to decide.

Also, be advised that to convert the 480 to a dual unit the way I did, a 
goodly amount of DIY experience is recommended.  (If anyone does this, 
do let me know!)
