I plan to order some, based on Chris Randall's recommendation, as soon as there is a rack case. (If I were back in the states, I would have access to all the tools I need to make something like that, but my selection of tools right now is pretty limited.) I might wait for the I/o module, too. If you haven't got them by then, I will be able to compare them with the onyxes, cause I've got an onyx interface.

Ps. I saw that the mods in the works include a di, but usually piezo DIs are much higher impedance than DIs for magnetic pickups. Typically 5-10 megaohms. That's what I was asking about. In my experience, piezos sound like crap (even more than just the inherent crappy piezo sound) when they are run through a DI designed for magnetic pickups.
