Ok, your Akurate had the Katalyst, But did the Selekt have the Katalyst Option?
You mentioned Just a (current) "Selekt". I think they are about where the Majik DS is on quality.
The Akurate with Katalyst WILL smoke a Selekt without the optional add-in Katalyst board.
But how does a Selekt with Katalyst option fare against a Akurate/Katalyst?
