Thinking of getting H4

I have been hosed and frustrated by the H3 ever since I got it in 2003, I do some pretty cool shows in my mind LD/Programer and the the 3 has alway just made it, but
there has been times when it has hurt my confidence and if you know what I am saying you will understand it is alway in the back of my mind there is will it do it
again !!!!
SO please anyone who has a H4 answer these questions.
1. Is the H4 stable ?
2. Are the faders doing strange things like o the H3 ?
3. I do a lot of Fast updating in rehearsals dose it lag at all on update/ merge ?
4. Is merge working
5. Is there any strange bits when changing pages?

Thank you for any response just want a console that as fast as I am and don't want to look more of a twit than I already am,

1: Yes
2: Never had strange fader issues on H3, they work here like the should
3: No, not all all, everything is instant and fast
4: Yes, some little issues, but they are known and some of them solved already (some postings here)
5: Yes and No, different terms of thinking, but HES is aware of that and also on the way to solve those issues.

Have a look here, you will find most of your questions already answered in 1 or 2 threads

I changed all my H3 and Fullboar 3 to H4 and Fullboar 4
Very happy with it, also lot of new features and hardware (like user definable keys) make programming faster and more efficient

Oh yeah....
Thats old.... Maybe try to clean the faders...
They can be easily taken apart and cleaned.

Yes, true but I have alway found the H3 slow

The hardware is old....
Mainboard with 256Mb RAMand so on...
Still great that it worked with 3.2.6
Now you have 8GB of RAM, plus Graphicmemory, fast CPU, SSD, 10 finger multitouch,....

HOG 4 has 2:
1 SSD for System and Data
1 750GB HDD for future use

RH4 and FB4 only have the SSD
