the ad converter on each unit puts its own sonic "signature" on what you put through it. the 4000 will be much more transparent as it is modern adc. however the mpc60 is 12 bit and around 40khz sampling rate. (actually cant remember exact samp rate). this will put a more obvious lo-fi color to what you put into it. its really like an effect. can make material sound like old vinyl. problem is you cant reverse it. my suggestion is to pick up an akai s900 or s950 (plus they have a variable sample rate from like 10k to 40k or something like that which gives you more control how much you want to "dirty up" the drums )on the cheap just so you can get the lofi sound when you want it and also get a modern box like the 2500/1000/4000/2000xl for more hifi sampling. this gives you best of both worlds.
you can get the mpc60 sound without buying the mpc60(a la s950). however some drum programmers swear by the sequencer in the 60 also. if you dont care about the sequencer i would do what i suggested above.
good luck
