APC 40 or the wait for Push?
Hey, I'm quite new to Ableton, and finally *got* it, meaning I know how to make good use of it for my purposes. But I feel I have to get a controller for this. Push seems perfect for what I want to do, but I wonder when it will be released. I wouldn't want to buy an APC40 now if Push got released in February... or is it worth to own both?
Did APC40 go down in price already, or would you think it will be cheaper once Push is on the market?

I'm having quite GAS for APC40, but when looking at APC20, I wonder if it's really worth the extra 200. But then, my GAS organ tells me "40"...

I think they're both different, I own an APC40 and will probably get Push too. I'd say APC is more suited for performance and it has faders whereas Push seems more suited to actually producing with it's integration into drum racks etc. You can't go wrong with either.

The integration in push is jaw dropping. Wait for push.

I ordered the APC 40 now, have 30 days return option, so if Push is going to be announced to be released very soon, I can still return the APC.
So excited!
