Just ordered the Griffin Studio Connect. SW called to make sure I knew they were out of stock, but were expecting another shipment in a few days. SW also confirmed that it would work on an 4th Gen iPad (with a lightning adapter).
Sweetwater does a great job with customer service for an online store.
Sweetwater has the best customer service, and only occasionally better prices than anyone else.
Right now that Balance+Reason deal is cheaper than anywhere else (and includes the full version of Reason, not Reason Essentials which typically comes in that package).
