Buy what you are most comfortable with. One is not more Pro than the other. The MPC will just cost you more. I do much better work on Acid 3 than with my MPC 60 and Emax. I have been working with Acid for 3 yrs though. On the other hand, when I use all 3....its heaven.
You can do some super dope stuff on FL. With time and experience....it can sound as "Pro" as you need it to. Will it sound like a MPC? NO! Will a MPC sound like FL? NO! FL is only 100 bux. Get both. Whats another 100 bux, when you are spending a grand. It will give you more range and flexibility.
Software and Hardware have their pros and cons. I like the stability of my MPC and I love the sound of my Emax. I love the speed I have on the computer and the unliimited sample time...and the flexibilty. I find hardware more cumbersome to use... Backlit LCD screens cant compare to a 19 inch flat screen dual monitor setup. My computer is pretty stable...I dont trust it like I do my MPC.... Staring at a computer screen all the time can get very sickening. You will find that you produce differently with each setup. This can be to your advantage... My two pesos.
