Something's going wrong somewhere. If you're tracking a stereo pair from the MPC into PT, then summing is not an issue and it should sound the same (assuming the same signal path) as when you're monitoring thru an aux. Are you breaking the tracks out separately and then trying to duplicate the mix in PT ? It can be hard to get back that magic that's happening in the MPC.
I do agree with Disco D, there's somethings that just sound great coming out of the MPC stereo so I won't separate all my tracks though mix engineers want to kill you for this. But again, don't buy into the summing issue with your specific problem.

This is not even remotely true in a 24 bit world. Do a search on these forums on recording levels and you'll see all the technical reasons to give yourself a little headroom. Expecially on signals with fast transients that may not show up on your DAW's meters.
