Revisiting a hybrid setup, consisting of my Kemper, GT22 and pedals. I do currently use the RJM 5pin to 7pin Power Injector and would like to continue doing so. I own a Decibel Eleven Loop Expander that I got for a bargain in hopes of setting this up, but I found it confusing to program. Two questions:
1. I've heard it said that, when used with the RJM Editor, the Mini Effects Gizmo is the best option out of a few that are essentially designed to do the same thing at a lower price point. What, specifically, is easier about the use of the MEG as opposed to something like the D11 Loop Expander or the Morningstar ML5? I don't mind springing for the MEG as long as it actually is easier to program with my GT22 and the RJM Editor; I'm just unclear of how it is easier. Please advise. Links below for reference.

2. Assuming that the answer to #1, above, is "Yes, the MEG is, in fact, easier to use for the following reasons..." - Let's say that I buy the MEG and run some pedals AND want to use Bi-directional Midi/Slave Mode. Can the Midi signal chain go GT22 > MEG > Kemper, or does it have to go GT22 > Kemper > MEG? I would prefer the former, so that I can more easily keep the pedals on my board without excess and expensive cable runs. If GT22 > MEG > Kemper is not optimal, does that mean that I'm probably actually better off with a PBC than a GT22/MEG combo?
