line6 floor pod OR Rocktron Utopia

[gtr31]

Hey , well im looking for a cheap inexpensive pratice and recording solution.
I have noticed that a lot of the new floor effects unit have a lot in them for not a lot of cash.
Im looking at 2 new ones the FloorPod based off the 2.0 tones and the Rocktron which appears to be a chameleon 2000/expression with a wah pedal.
For parameter control and fx im pretty sure the Rocktron will kill it but im wondering on the tones in the preamp . I have heard that the Modern hi gain from the POD 2.0 is awesome ..but I have not heard it .I know that the Rocktron has the 4 voices of the Prophesy and the demo on thier site is pretty damn good for Clean to bluesy tone ..Does anyone know how the Rocktrons Hi gain fares against the Line6 .
Thanks

Rocktron
is a highly respected company today
i used to avoid them for years because i dident like their products
well that sure changed in the past couple years

im also tired of line 6 now
ive had 3 units and i hated them all ( well not all of the tones )
but if your new to rocktron id do some more investagating on the matter

like read the PDF's if they are available
to realy explore the the inerwork's of the units capability
to deliver great tone
