Sierra SoundTraxx vs. the NEW Phoenix Sound System

has anyone ‘compared’ these two sound systems side by side??? is the hype about the new programable phoenix justified when compared to the less expensive, yet fantastic sounding/lighting effects sierra board??? i have two (2) sierra boards, 1 F3 and 1 SD45, with about a difference in age of about 1 year…the F3 sound is simply mind blowing quality, while the SD45 leaves something to be desired in the ‘sound quality’ area…as far as i know, the actual sound board/processor is the same, the only difference is the actual ‘chip’ that creates the sounds…but i will be looking at a 3rd sound system for Christmas and was wondering how the ‘big 2’ compared???
