I know the specs pretty much of these 2 beasts, but I've only ever owned the s950, and wondered (one being from 1986 and other from '88) is there a difference? Would love to know from some one who owns both?

Might have misread something but I thought I remember seeing a post or comment from some guy who said the s900 had a different sound, not sure if that's just bull or anything.

thanks. checked your sound clips outs. Yeah sounds prety much the same to me.

Always wanted the s900 at some point though, just for that grey/white number pad area instead of the blue/grey number pad area! haha. Not that looks matter.

it DOES matter. My motivation to make beats would decrease if the case of my MPC would look effed up. I also like the blue/grey design of the 950 more than the s900. thats why my 900 rest in the closet since I got the 950 (ok the color is not the only reason :))
