Will, in Germany we have the word http://www.dict.cc/?s=schnapsidee and actually "Schnaps" is the German word for "hard liquor". I only want to point out, that the OP should take a pause for breath and after that reconsider, if an emotional, idialistic, euphoric feeling should be the base to enlarge stage equipment by FLOSS, to replace a Nord Stage 2 EX.
