Line 6 POD XT

Has anyone seen one or heard one yet. The only one I seen was in my recent Musicians friend catalog. Its supposed to have Vetta like capability with computer ports for downloading presets and what not. It says it has new cab models and amp models new effects. the only difference I seen was it was a fuscia color. Now a Vetta head costs 1599 in musicians friend this thing cost 399. So I'm sure its not a mini vetta But does anyone now how close it gets cause I will definetly wait until theres a rackmount version like the 2.0.

Check out some audio samples. As far as the downloads I believe it uses MIDI ports so you'd need some midi ports on your computer or MIDI adapters (like serial to MIDI or USB to MIDI etc..)
