that's rediculous, i thought it might have included 128mb RAM at that price. I paid just £70 more for my 2500 from digi village.

If you call them they will probably do it at a much lower price as the list price on the 2500 was £950 and i paid £790

the only reason why i can even think of the price difference is because they are trying to get rid of the overstock blue/red ones cause akai officially discontinued the red/blue.

i can see what you're saying, but surely they'd drop the price of the blue/red ones and make the black ones the old price of the blue/red ones? in an ideal world, of course.....

same situation with german dealers: blue mpc1000s are around 800-830€ while the new black models ship by 995€. don't like that. i think sparq is right - they maybe want to sell all old blue models...

if you do get the blue one, you will have to update the OS when you take it out the box.
