Ok, so I did it! I was working on beats for a remix today in Logic using Stylus. I love the Stylus kits but I was going through the same thing I always do which is to try to get the groove better. I used MPC templates and tried layering, etc. I was all OK but still not quite convincing. I left the studio and went and bought an MPC1000. Brought it back to the studio and started creating some beats right out of the box. Already there is such a noticable difference. I've never been so happy with just a kick and snare. The MPC sounds like the velocities are at 200! So punchy and just has 'that sound'. Really sounded great going through my Vintech. I've only scratched the surface but I am very happy and inspired. I look forward to the Linn II when it comes out. I think I'll be in beat heaven for a while.
