Blue box.  It seems to have fewer features overall (no synth, but it 
records to SD card...) but at $549 I think its a better value.

I have a black box, and while I wish it had a few more synth-like 
processing features it's one of the best samplers I've used.  It has 
some quirks for sure, but given that I also have a kurzweil and now an 
A4K, I don't worry about the flaws so much.

I'm not sure I'd see the need for the blue box either, although as I 
collect more desktop gear I'm seeing how much portable flexibility it 
could offer while working with the blackbox and some other bits of gear.
