As a owner of a MM1200 and a PTHD I can say that I like the sound of the analog machine better. It's also much easier to mix things off the analog machine even if I dump to PT.

Now, 98% of the clients that come throught the studio DON'T use the analog machine. The could care less. They look at tape cost and editing capabilitys and just go for PT. Whatever, I wish they used the 2", but I feel I can make it sound good either way.

I guess what I'm telling you is don't expect to bring a ton of clients in based on having a 2". For your own projects its alot of fun, and to me the only way I want to record. So....

Yes, you should get one, but remember:
*It will cost a lot more than you think for parts, ect (depending on what you buy)
*It's not as easy to edit, tweek like PT
* it will NOT hold any re sell value.

But,
Go for it. You already want one, whats it going to hurt?
