There's one big "con" - it's not available. Optical Media has been
advertising the availability of Yamaha support since March, but it's
nothing but vapor. The only Mac package we know about that's
supporting the Yamaha recorder *today* is Gear. I'll be getting a demo from
them tomorrow and if it looks viable we'll probably add the package to our
product line. Contact me later in the week if you're interested.
