sometimes it's the subtle (or not so subtle) imperfections that make some of make alot of those machines great for hip-hop. From an original EPS to SP1200 to MPC's 60, 60II, & 3K (never done the 2K or 4K), they all have there own sound and there own timing. I personally don't think the perfectnesssss of the new stuff really captures the rawness, too pretty.
