Josh,

I'll definetly have to check out some more vendors, but if the difference in price is as low as the one I've found so far (roughly £8) I think I'm gonna go with the POD when the time comes. Not having to have your computer turned on to play is always a good thing, and I'd like to have a pedal too, nothing fancy, just to switch things on and off so I can keep my hands on the 'ol axe

Thanks for the help (and you Brid, of course )
