After looking at both the Show Designer and the Show Designer 1 it appears that the only difference is in the joystick. Has anyone used both? Is there a difference in the software or anything?

Just wondering. Because I actually like the way the original looks better.

Seth,

The main differences are the joystick and silk screen. Being that there is no more data wheel on the SD1, the menu operation also changed a little. In addition, we are continually adding features to the SD1 via software updates which are available through our website. We no longer offer software updates for the original Show Designer. However, we do continue to support it.
