Live 2 Retro to 2500 SE (JJOSXL) exchange is worth it ?

Hello internet friends!

I've got a proposal few days ago to exchange my Live 2 Retro for a 2500 SE with JJosXL installed - is it worth to go that way?

I've got a 2000xl already and i love it, limitations are challenging, and spawn better ideas. (And i swore to myself that i will not ever sell this mpc)

2500se is a machine slowly going on the "vintage" territory, so resale value will rise in couple years - live 2 prices will fall when new mpc device will show up - and someday in the future these older mpc will stops showing up on the auction sites (especially these special editions or limited editions).

Worth it or not ?

Only if you have another New MPC in your Arsenal. The 2500 is a Beast for its time. Especially with JJOSXL. This was actually the Pre-Cursor to the Newer MPCs. But you're gonna miss the speed and Versatility of Touch Screen, Storage, FX, Instruments, etc.

I still Have my 2500(JJOSXL). But for a Clean Trade? I would say NO

I've decided to get this 2500 se and keep the live retro for some time, my buddy with whom i share studio has mpc one (also retro) - so i will let go live2r in near future - im making beats for my project and didn't touched the live2r since start of ep project.
I've heard somewhere that if something is not fun to use anymore, it is time to let it go
