MPC 2500 or 1000

First of all, wanna say wasup to everyone, i'm new here and think this is a a mad azz site. Ok, so 2500 or 1000, ill break down my current situation. I got a motif es6 and ableton live 5 to sequence although i've really been wanting to switch to the MPC series for a hella long time. I originally really wanted the 2500 but now i'm thinkin 1000 cuz now im contemplating if i really need the 2500, also it seems to have alota bugs, and now what wit the new blk 1000 comin out wit all the new features it has really got me deciding. Also i aint a big sampler, i mainly want use the mpc to sequence my modules and do drums, but who knows, might get into samplin in the near future. Wat would yall do in my situation, 1000 worth it for a beginer or 2500 and wouldnt really need to ever worry bout upgrading. Also i really want monitors so wats left of the cash if i bout the 1000 could go to that. Thanks guys, i just wanna get as much useful info to make an informed decision b4 blowing alotta cash. Cheers

To bad Blue Box dosent work on Macs

"To bad Blue Box dosent work on Macs"
try PGM Maker

"but personally i have been saving up fro a long time so money is a big issue for me..."
yeah, I understand that. 1k will STILL get it poppin no matter the OS upgrade or 2500 newer features. ALL MPC's can bang out hits.

"new OS 2.0 hopefully comin up its gonna be sick"
alot of cats want this and seems like it's a life or death situation.
no matter how sic the OS is, they can STILL be wack, I hope they remember that. I'm not saying you but let's hope your not
"THAT GUY"

Keep banging.

Easy drag what ever sounds you want to the pads and when you are ready to make program go up to file and hit export and your done program made and you can move on to the next one.

no. every single thing a 1k can/and (will when the new os comes out), the 2500 can do.
