like baggss said, very nice write-up! I really enjoyed reading this because I could tell you were serious and new what you were talking about. you kind of remind me of how I'll be once it comes down to me having to choose between the 3. haha! a friend of mine bought a pro around the same time you wrote this and told me it DOES get hot, but not it's terribly uncomfortable. since it's July now, most of the pro's heat problems should be somewhat updated and fixed by now... right? if not, then hopefully soon! at least, that's what I keep reading on tons of threads at this forum. I'm keeping my fingers crossed because I was leaning more towards the pro. maybe I'll head over to the store and do a little testing myself just like you!
