i had one and got rid of it after trying it for a couple weeks. it was the pro series wireless and the remote had horrible signal, you would have to wave it arround and keep pushing the buttons to get it to work and sometimes it wouldent work at all, all of this was under 100 yards. plus you only have 12 sounds and thet dont sound all that great.i now have the fx3 and tryed it out to about 150 yards and the remote is sweet, plus you get a much larger selection of sounds.so i guess the awnser to both your questions would be NO.
