As a user of the MPC3000 and having a friend that owes a MV, I would personally go with the 3000. The reason being is that the sequencer on the Akai is alot better than on the Roland. I'm a fan of the MPC 60, 3000 and Emu Sp1200 so I'm not usually impressed by new samplers. But the MV8000 was the 1st to catch my ear with it's sound. That machine sounds great and has alot up to date functions that the MPC3000 doesn't. So it's like this....both sound great, but if you will be using this machine as your main sequencer, go with the Akai!!
