I have 5k for few yrs now and hardly use all the Qlinks to be honest. I see new Rens on ebay for 850, free shipping so may go that route. I thinking of selling the upgraded 5k and putting that toward a Ren, or getting Studio and a new laptop so I can be mobile. I see 5k still has fairly good market online.
I been hardware cat since the floppy disk/zip/jazz drive days but as an IT guy I find myself connecting the 5k to pc a lot and chopping and editing sounds on the PC (just prefer the screen real estate over mpc LCD)
I imagine I'd be doing much of the workflow on PC and the pads for tapping out the beats.

I told my wife it is inevitable that I scoop up one or the other since I alrdy do hardware/software workflow now
