EB16 vs 8 out

I would like to add delay -maybe some reverb to some sounds in my MPC 2000 classic, should I get the 8 output and use the external hardware I have already or get the EB16?
I'm leaning towards the EB16 as it would be internal and I woulden't have to mess around with patch cords with my already congested and limited send/receive soundboard.

What is everyone's opinion of the EB16, I would mostly use the delay (echo), and some reverb to smooth stuff out.

Is the delay tempo (BPM) controlled?

And a stupid question I can't find the answer to in the manual: Do I need the 8 output add on to use the EB16?

Thanks for any suggestions, and opinions.

you don`t need the 8-out board to use the fx board.

as I know the delay is not bpm controlled or has a tap tempo option.
if you have the outboard gear already use that and get the 8-out board....

I haven`t heard that much positive about it.....but,I don`t own one.

The EB-16 is convenient if you don't already have external gear or if you play gigs. Go for the 8-outs.

the eb16 is convenient if you have unlimited funds...
but many of the effects are (to put it kindly) a bit lacking...

if you have to choose one..choose the eight outs...
