I have the reverb 8210 with desktop controller. Works brilliantly and sounds great. You can purchase the a lot of the System 6000 algorithms now as well in native silicon. I have a System 6000 - the software is a 1:1 port. Watch for sales - the 6000 bundle goes on sale a couple of times a year for just a little over $300 which is an absurdly great deal considering the hardware used to cost $10-$15k! All their plugins are top notch.
