ok so, I've had my 1k for exactly a year, it has jjos2xl, I absolutely love it but today (and I can't be arsed to explain how and why) I ended up with a brand new 2500 with original akai os.

one of em HAS to go, do I stick to what I know and sell the 2500, or do I get xl on the 2500 and get rid of my 1000?

I can't decide.

it really is a 50/50, I'd prob get the same money for em both as the 1k is maxed aout as far as possible withput doing a mod, yet the 2500 is obviously more expensive brand new.

The pads aren't really an issue for me, I really don't see what everyones problem is with the moc 1000 pads. mine are sweet, they feel just like the 2500.

The extra outs also aren't an issue cos I wont be using em....

any input would be nice.

reading your reply it sounds like you have already decided on the 1000 and selling the 2500.

personally. I would keep the 2500 and run JJ on it.

I like the larger format of the 2500. I have big hands and dont wanna be forced into playing 3/4 pads. that is one of many little tid bits, but meh.. I dont feel like typing.. Im getting a Modern warfare 2 craving..

PEACE OUT!

Keep the 2500 ! It's so much more machine than the 1000 ... I've owned them both (more than once)
...And I have now decided it's over ! I've bought a maxed out 2500 last week and that's the one for me !

Just the moving screen , the pads and the outs are already doing it for me .....

Thats like asking 'Should I brush my teeth today'?

Learn to make your own decisions, for better or for worse.

Otherwise, just check the existing arguments regarding those two machines in the 'MPC Comparison' forum.
