Hi Nic

I think it may also be beacuse the G61, and then G61R were released a couple of years after the original G68 variants, so most people here were already tooled up.

Evidently the G61R and G68 are identical in terms of processing and sound; the former can safely be regarded as a less feature rich version of the latter (that advice directly from M a few years ago)

Cheers

George
