thanks, and again, if you can distinguish what makes the 2000 / 590, 
different, what you like about each,  and the 480, I will certainly 
appreciate it.
I understand about the TX audio and for those reasons am leaning in 
the direction of the 590 / 2000 though I don't know the difference in 
eventual cost, etc.

thanks!
