Thats the conundrum I'm trying to solve right now.
The outlaw power amp is far superior IMO than the yamaha, but the functional limitations of the 975 for my purposes are a bit of a concern. Very unfortunate as I'd really like to keep the outlaw combo. But as you pointed out, I noticed myself not using it much as those issues did annoy me.

I thought about keeping the power amp and using the 2030 as a pre/pro, but then I'm way over my estimated budget of 1500.00.
