Anyone got a Line 6 HD300, 400 or 500 ?

Looking for some input on these, I've been looking to get another floorboard for quite awhile. I like that this has XLR balanced outs along with 1/4 outs that you can set seperatly. In other words I can voice the XLR for line/pa out and voice the 1/4" outs for an amp. also looks to be built fairly rugged.
I'm thinking the 300 would be good for me the only thing that would get me to upgrade to a 400 would be the sound called synth attack. If that would actually give me a synth sound would be cool since I do alot of stuff I gotta try to mimic keyboards..

I don't have any of the HD models but I have the Line 6 pod XT Live which is the none HD model. My modeling pedal is awesome. Best thing line 6 ever made to me...Go for it, you will love it.

I been eying those up for a while. Look on Youtube, tony, and you can see all kinds of video demos on them. There is a lot you can do with it, and they sound pretty cool.

I haven't played through one yet, as no where around here had one when I was looking. I think Rainbow Music in State College has one now, though. I'm not sure if Music Emporium got any in yet or not. The last time I asked them about it, they said they would have to special order it.

Get one if you want a modeling processor. Dont waste money on something else. If I were you, id just save a little more and grab the HD500. Any of them are awesome though.

I don't have HD but the X3 Live has several synth mods and they are pretty good. They do not handle polyphony (chords) well, but they are super for single note lines. The thing I like the most is that I can asign the pedal to control the filter position of the synth, so I can get really moogy when I want.

I'll agree with Keith on saving for the top-of-line version.

Money isn't really keeping me from getting the top of the line model its floor space and simplicity, too many pedals and I get confused easy, LOL. I may end up with the 4 or 500 though cuase I just read somewhere that you cannot adjust the wah on the 300 but you can adjust the wah on the 500 not sure about the 400 yet. Still doing homework.

I'm hoping to get to guitar center this weekend to try one.
