I had followed the development of your system and was interested in your opinion of the SX-8000 almost a year on. Did you ever put in a vibraplane? If so, do you notice a difference?
BTW... If you have found a manual or literature on the SX-8000, I would love to extend the same offer of paying all associated costs for a copy. I've looked everywhere, including on the "my micro" site and german ebay from time to time but have come up with nothing (lost a catalog on Yahoo! Japan's auction site due to a ferocious last-minute snipe).
