Main Advantages of JJOS2XL or JJOS3 over JJOS Free?

Hi, I've been on JJOS Free since I bought my MPC in the mid 2010's. For now it suits my purposes.

Just wondering if anyone can put me onto some cool features or optimizations that you would consider indispensable, in either JJOS2XL or JJOS3?

I know there's an OS comparison chart on JJ's website, but a lot of times it's difficult to know exactly what the feature is, how it might be applied or how useful it'll be creatively.

You might wonder what's holding me back from just upgrading to see for myself

#1 is that all my music thus far is saved on JJOS Free
#2 is that I'm worried I'll shell out for the upgrade and find out that I still prefer JJOS Free

Any input on this would be greatly appreciated!

You can install 2XL or OS3 to try them out for as long as you wish, saving is disabled, but everything else works fully so you can test out everything. Just reboot holding down tap tempo to switch back to the free OS whenever you want to.

It's a great idea, I'm assuming it's still possible to downgrade back to JJOS Free if I decide to?

Thanks for the quick reply, hoping people will still post their thoughts.
