You clearly never heard the FX in the MV-8800...

That comment of mine, either, was not a personal attack towards anyone or their gear.
What I'm saying is that in my opinion, the gear I've used (had MV, too) seldom offers exceptional effects that are better than what some software offers these days. I recall EMU effects being quite poor in particular, and even older Akai has better reverbs etc.
This does not mean in any way they could not be used if they serve you well and/or if you don't want to mix in software.
Peace and all that jazz.
