If you want a more pro box get the 2xl
but it costs more and no 128 ram and no sounds and no efx (standard, have to pay) no outs extra (standard, have to pay)
bang for buck... 1000 easy as that, take it from me.
I had a 2000 loaded all the goodies for a long time. I had no time stretch and I did fine with out it. That's a wav editor is for.

If this isn't what you want start small, get a emu-PX7
its a good box and in a cost range most can afford, it has crazy sounds in it along with synth sounds. A great box to start with and makes it easy to expand your studio in the future.

P.S no more caps lock bro.
