WideawakE, so u dont think the 4000 sounds good eh?

Damn, can i ask u guys one more question? Sorry, but how does the MPC 3000 sound compared to the 4000? Just your guys opinions. What i find with the 3000 is that it sounds great but to my ears its lacking a bit of top end. Mabye its my room or the way i have my monitors set. But yeah i was hoping the 4000 was going to sound as good as the 3000 but with a lil more top end. I know its has a lot to do with the way i eq/compress/process,ect my drums, but im just trying to get an idea and again sorry for the wack questions. I currently own a 3000. Should i keep it instead of getting a 4000? Im going to go to Long & McQaude and bring my 3000 in and do an A/B test between the 3000 and 4000 and hear for myself. What i dig about the 4000 is i can load my whole custom drum library in there and i can preview the sounds while my sequence is playing. I can do that right with the push of a button without having to load them in the pads right? Can someone post a beat they did with the 4000?
