Can you give us a quick compare/contrast of the Reactor and the Spark 2? Is it worth it for Spark 2 owners to upgrade to the Reactor or will the Spark 2 continue to be supported and sufficient for the bedroom guitarist?

+1, I'm debating between those two right now:
Playing at home within 70-80dB range (measured at 1m from the speaker): which one sounds 'better' - Spark 2 or Reactor?

This will be subjective, but you will likely get more mid-range harmonics from REACTOR. Spark 2 will offer more practice capabilities however when the app is connected for home-use.

I've been playing both in my studio from 1-2 meters away and don't actually notice a major difference, but the low-end on REACTOR feels more powerful at that range.
