I know alot of people are comparing the GT-8 to the pro, but let me shed some light here...
I have used the GT-6 for 3 years now and it is an impressive unit, but here are my reasons for going to the GT-Pro..
1. Just having controls on the floor in my opinion makes changing patch details much harder than controls on a rack where you can walk up to unit and tweak away.
2. I also use the digitech GSP-2101 and the one feature that it has which really is extremely underrated is the ability to switch patches and have a cross fade of sorts.. They called it seamless patch change, so there is not an abrupt change of sound...
Very cool!!! and guess what ?? The GT-Pro can do this, the GT-8 cannot.
3. The ablility to change patches on the computer is a really amazing addition as well...
All in all I anticipate the GT Pro being one of the last guitar effects changes I will make...

I too have the GSP2101 and enjoy that feature. I have a Roland VG-88 and although it sounds overdriven, it seems to lack the gain or bite that my 2101 has. I hope the GT-Pro has addressed this as well. Other than not so good presets on the VG-88, its a nice unit. I'm more of a rack guy but I have to believe there is more under the covers compared to the GT-8 or else I will be wasting my money.

1. Yep, the ol' form-factor thing: to each his own.
2. You sure about this? I thought they both did this....
3. Personally, I have low expectations of the software, but we'll see....
