The 3000 and 4000 will also color the sound to a certain extent. Anything else really has not much of a noticeable impact on the sound. If anyone is buying an MPC, the number one thing they should be buying it for is the sequencer anyways.
I've used a 2000XL and 1000 for a few years and loved both of them but no longer have them. I have a Machinedrum MK2 UW right now and like it a lot. The workflow is quite different but I think I work better with it than MPCs. While the RAM limit is quite restrictive, I think it helps me out in some ways in that I don't load every ****ing sample I have and have no idea how to proceed from there.
