That's the point, yes.

But, when I got my PAR (PAL) one year ago, the software 1.89 did not have
this problem. At some software revision the banding problem came up.
When I try a ADpro color fill with the latest 2.50 software I get ugly
banding, with 1.89 and a few revisions later (f.e. 2.07) not. So I use the
old one for LW framing and the newest one for the other stuff.
I seems that DPS decreased the compression factor (more details but more
banding in gradients). The same picture is 80Kb with 1.89 and 90Kb in 2.50.

Not for me, when there's no Amiga version. I'm still looking around for a
fast render box and even then, the PAR is good enough for me (like you
said in an other way :)
