This looks amazing! Has Robert discussed reasons why they're using the the older Venue systems instead of the new S3L system?

Re: Join Robert Scovill for a Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Sound Check
 

I would guess it has to do with the increased requirements for these live events. Maximum requirements would require the maximum system. You can compare systems here:

Good point, thank you. I wonder if there are any sound quality differences?
