I have this board since its release 2 or 3 years I bought it because I axis8 dja the mix and the car is handy to have plates of the same series the axis 8 was no longer for the rest the same opinion as I have already put to the axis 8, but has more touch sensitive, cummulative effects, for display against the beautiful blue and white LED on the axis 8 to the reader very practical in the dark all this damage and become red, another problem has tendency to have bugs there is sometimes forced to turn it off in full evening to do a reset of the plate it always reads CDRW or not the mp3, but has fewer problems than the axis 8 for the CDRs, although they do not pass tous.le prices and correct for this range of platinum I would not take the same stage if I had to change .. . mp3, cdrw, and bugs.
