Hello I am writing for the first time from Italy. I am an amateur and I got the Pro3 to start. I guarantee you it was not easy to start from scratch and it took me months to use and understand it. I later also got Take 5 which is much easier to use. It would have been much wiser to take Take 5 first. However, I'm working hard and I'm happy with the double purchase. They are two different machines intended for different uses. Two wonderful machines.
