I kinda like it. Only way I'd get it, is if I had a 3000 or 60. Looks Nice sittin in between Those Two Models.

I may Do A 4000 Retro Wrap on my One :wink:

Yeah Im really digging the look of the Live 2, but as tempted as I am to get another one, I have a rock solid OG Live thats had NO issues from the start so I dont wanna jinx myself and get a unit that has me waiting on tech support for anything hah. :D

Akai Suggested Price $899....So It'll be probably in that $850-950 Range

Yeah this is the one thing putting me off buying this version. If the lights were just white it would be easier on the eye and a better pallete. The black one looks like it marks easy, in videos they always look a bit grimy.

That Live 1 coating is the same coating on Roland R-8 back when I bought it in 1990. I HATED IT!
I'll never buy gear with that coating again.
