I bought one of the first MPC 1000s in the UK in december 2003, had to swap it 3 times and ended up giving it back. I really wanted to like it, but it had too many bugs at that point.
I do agree that it's a capable machine, and works much better now. Kills the software IMO. But one thing I could never get past is the scooped sound of these new mpcs since the 1000. The midrange is lacking, and this is the same on my 2500 too. Compare these newer mpcs (now made by Numark) to a 2000 XL or a classic 2000 or a 4k, you should instanty be able hear the difference.
It is about preference at the end of the day, so each to their own.
