well a 2500 for that price is hard to argue with. I think that  
happened to me when I got my virus KC, they listed the price of the  
desktop unit :)

The deal right now with the maschine vs mpc thing is down to what you  
want to use it for. From what I have read the mpc is still king if you  
want to sequence external hardware gear. But maschine is supposed to  
get an update that fixes this.

I can not wait to make MPC2500 vs. Maschine videos and upload them to  
youtube. There will be lot's of pitched horn samples.


Here are some product demos that are pretty good, with the bonus of  
comic relief.
