It seems I will need to move from prop1 to SX to reach the degree of complexity an upgraded scene will require. What is the learning curve from prop 1 programming to SX. What books would be recomended.

It's significant, especially if you want to do the kinds of things we do in our products (the EZ-8, for example, is a programed SX chip -- same chip as in the Prop-SX).  Start simple and work your way up, but you can expect a good several months before you are able to write the kinds of programs that we do.  Think of the Prop-1 as a Volkswagon Bug and the Prop-SX as a Formula 1 racecar; big difference in horsepower and skill required for full control.

Sorry... we don't like to sugar-coat things.
