DigiTech MOSAIC vs. Fender/Roland G-5A

Fate has dealt its interesting hand and given me both of these fine products to play with, so I thought it only fitting that I should pit them against each other in a 12-string emulation face-off.
Admittedly, the Corona built Fender/Roland VG G-5A is ten times the price (with at least that much worth of extra features; it's a great guitar for starters) of the very capable DigiTech Mosaic, but that fact really only serves to highlight the merits of the latter. Let me know what you think. Personally, if it was down to just the 12-string effect (which is what we're looking at here), I'd be happy to use either of them.
