The 990 is a slight improvement in audio over the 1056,and a step backwards in features/control(unless you need balanced out).For looks,well judge for yourself.I had a 990 and a 1068 in my house for a month,the 1068 was more pleasing to my ears even though it cost about $400 more,plus $100 to send the Outlaw combo back.I'm not rich so money matters but so does sound.

The 990 is a great product(less a few bugs)and for its price in a prepro can't be beat.The Outlaws as a company also were great.
