It's not totally correct that all your AT4 gear will work in AT5. If you used Stomp B in AT4 or had more than 2 racks in Rack B then you can't use them in AT5 CS, you'll get a warning along the lines of 'haha gotcha we removed that ability, you need to give us more money to use 'Full Chain' " (I'm paraphrasing). Also since the forced upgrade to Custom shop 2 you can't buy or trial any more gear in AT4, so if your preset doesn't work in AT5 CS and you want to add some new gear to it you are stuffed. Regarding copying presets to AT5 some are just not recognised, I spent a pleasant hour copying and pasting sections of an AT4 preset into an AT5 preset and eventually found a single Cab entry that stopped AT5 recognising it as a preset, I have no idea why because when I managed to get it to load in AT5 I could select the same cabinet as in AT4. I don't find the sounds very similar so far, particularly the flanger sounds horrific in AT5 compared to AT4 with the same settings. I used to be mad keen on AT4 evangelising about it to friends, but no more.
