Pretty much LX (but it sounds nicer!).

Thought it was how many years they will last, until I saw the last letter was E and not Y. :roll:

Well done Xac! Brevity is the soul of wit. Simple conversion table for those of us simpletons still running S1's but occasionally harbouring faithless thoughts of an HDi.

I think that the correct sequence has
Athena = VSX

I never worked out where "Seduction" fits in the sequence.

Do you mean Sensation? Dad had one and it was a mutant LX, with some things of a SX and others of a sub-LX spec if memory serves.
It was probably a way of getting rid of the sub-LX spec by giving them extras, like how the last of the Mk1's got upgrades in many cases.
