Do you mean too much goin on, on the screens?
Yeah, I mean, I don't know, I think it's great that Akai is still making standalone MPC's with current features, they're just not for me. I ALMOST went for the Live, but in all honesty I'm glad I didn't. & I know people say they got used to the touch screen, but I'm already used to the 2500......& I actually like the little screen
I WILL say however, I haven't played with the X or the Live. & all though I would probably have fun with them, I don't think it would change my mind, the X is just too much money for what it does (in my opinion for my uses) & I just don't see me selling the 2500 for the Live. I use the additional midi outs a lot as well, that's what actually made my final decision, the number of midi outs.
