Who said every base? There are probably 20 or more features in GSt3 that 
the developers not even trying to implement at this point. (Not that 
they're needed just yet.)

Voice count is the most basic way that Tascam markets the different 
revisions of Gst2 and Gst3. It's always been that way. To ignore it 
would be silly.

And, actually, I agree with you. It's unlikely that LS will actually 
beat GSt3 on voice count on the first release. However, it's good to 
have appropriate goals. This is just my wish - not a stated goal of the 
developers.

Just my two cent,
