Really what I want is a complete overhaul of Rig Manager. It's pretty poo software. It's confusing and the UI+UX needs a lot of love IMHO.
I certainly hope they respond to the Quad Cortex, because the Kemper profiling methodology is a bit long in the tooth at this point. At the very least put the definition parameter on the post-profile refinement page, and even auto-refinement would be splendid!
Really struggle to get excited by all this wireless tripe myself. I don't find it useful at all.
I would absolutely love to do UX on a guitar based product!!

Kemper powered Kab
Seymour Duncan Powerstage 170 + cab of choice (prob a v30 1x12 or my current 2x12 which is a v30 Heritage mix)
Fryette Powerstation PS2 + cabs as above.
I've had my (unpowered rack) Kemper since 2013 and have tried numerous power amps and cabs and a couple of frfr solutions.
For power amps, the KPA is better with something fairly neutral, so SS or 6L6 valve power stages sound better to my ears. The Matrix amps are good and I really like the Power Station too. Surprisingly, the Harley Benton GPA 400 also sounded great. I tried a couple of EL34 amps but they seemed to colour the sound too much.
Having said all that, I'm running mine with a couple of Red Sound cabs atm and I'm really happy. I've still got guitar cabs and a couple of power amps if I fancy a change
If I were you (and if you can afford it) I'd go for the Power Station. That bit of punch from the valves may not be entirely accurate but it does sound great.
My research tells me that this can be done relatively cheaply, but will need another power supply and a bit more fiddling with additional boxes.

I can also get a neat little 1x12 and I think I’ll prefer the sound of a real cab to an FRFR speaker.
The ipad editor app is on the app store and kemper have said that the new OS is imminent in the next few hours.

It's for people who have no idea about networking, if you know what you're doing it doesn't add much.
Anyhow, hope it's useful to someone.

I find the performance mode a bit confusing to be honest. Typically in the heat of the moment I want to switch your "amp channel" without touching any of your effects. And because the performance slots on the Kemper affect the entire unit, throughout the day I regularly kept losing tweaks to my effects, or just flat out losing ones that I had added in the moment.
I can see how it all works, and I can see that it would be very good once you've got everything setup and you know your bank layouts and everything. But when you're wanting to just fly by the seat of your pants... I think it's a bit confusing.
The format seems perfect for my needs..

Got a gig in January so can’t wait to turn it up. For gigs I use two Matrix NL12 1x12’s via a Palmer splitter box from the mono out on my powered rack.

I've also moved away from cabs on stage; my signal goes out through the PA and I monitor via a QSC K10. My live sound has never been better..
It ticks my boxes still.
