I would think, from what I understand of the GR-55, is that it would eliminate the need for a GR-30 (33 or 20)... would that be correct?...

Hi Davor, I've got a GR-55. I use it via a US-20 with my GR-30. IMO, best of both worlds - COSM modeling and still get the use of the harmonizer in the GR-30. ...
