Not sure about the new 99 but if it's like the previous ones then the COSM - people seem to either like it or hate it. As far as amp and effect modeling goes I like COSM but in my experience you do have to take time to set it up. I use the GT8 and it looks like the Vg99 uses the COSM from that - the Roland patches there are ok but could be better, they don't do the kit justice tbh.
I'm assuming that the guitar models are the same as for the new Fender Strat modeling guitar. That's had very good reviews and the Vg99 is considerably cheaper - albeit the Fender is the guitar with the modeling built in. Nice to see that the unit has midi capibilites IF you buy a hexaphonic midi pickup. Not sure though whether the Vg99 has the same conversion as a dedicated midi controller/converter like the Roland GI20. If it does then the unit would be well worth a look if you want guitar synth and amp and guitar modeling. 700UK sterling seems a reasonable price for what is on offer. One thing though - I've always had the impression that they've struggled to sell the previous versions and ended up discounting them, so it may be worth waiting a few months to see what happens.

This might help Jason,
not for the Vg but for for the gt series instead. However I think they share the same, or similar COSM, and people on the forum may well know far more about the Vg then me (not hard as I know little ) or be able to point you in the right direction. Here is the link.. Cheers, Tony ps if you need any other help shout - people here will always do there best to help.
