2 LPChip
A matter of personal priorities I guess. To me, faster and faster, is not that important. Reliabilty and functionality prevail. Of course I found it nice too, when my new set does a complicated thing in the wav-editor in 2 minutes instead of 15 on the old one. Speed musn't be a goal on itself (maybe in formula I races), but it has to serve some reason.
And I certainly won't feel 'left behind', if I decide, that my toolbox is perfectly in shape for the things I want to realize, while the race goes on. That would be a stupid psychological mistake.
And you're right about the proper cooler.
