hi i'm from rome, italy...sorry for my language, hope you will understand

i've just sold my mpc 1000 with free jjos, 16mb ram..

now i have the oppurtunity to buy an akai mpc 4000 (white) used with hard disk 20 gb and cd/dvd rom drive for 800€ (1055 $)....but also an akai mpc 2000xl used for 700€ with 32mb ram, EB16, chip SMPTE and a cf card reader

which is the best and got the best sound? (i love mpc fat sound)

mpc 4000 got the auto-chop? (like mpc 1k with jjos...it divides your sample in 16 equal parts for example)
and 2000xl got it too?

i like also mpc 2500SE..i could buy it for 1150€ (new, without cd/dvd drive and hd)

so, which is the best? which should I take?

thanks

Take your time and read up on those machines in the forums.

Plenty of comparison threads already here, so not a great first post really...

Your language is good, its the question you're asking.

There is no such thing as the 'best'.

Why would you ask total strangers what you should get?

yeah yeah, just get yourself the 4000... you sold the 1000, the 2500 will be pretty much the same thing... and the 4000>2000xl when it comes to those prices.

1000 is not too much for a 4000, but 700 is too much for a 2000xl
