Arrived this morning. First impressions: very compact - it has the footprint of a COG T16 and solidly built. Tracks down low as well as well as any octaver I've come across (see response to Dood's post below). It delivers the "classic OC-2 sound" as well as if not better than the COG 16 and I think it's pretty close to the 'real thing' (sufficient for that particular itch of mine to have been scratched) - although I'll leave my fellow BC'ers with OC-2s to comment on whether they agree or no
