haha funny you post that. i just spoke with nick from vst yesterday. real cool cat. that $1250 one is not maxed out though. i'd get the $1499 with maxed out memory and 8 outs.

he said that they just lowered the prices. the 2kxl maxed out was around $1700 or something. since they are an akai dealer they can order them anytime. i don't know what you meant by "last batch".

i'll probably be getting the maxed out one very soon.

U could buy a used 1 2nd hand and just buy a cardreader for it. Save u half the price... I did it and the thing works great! (i only had to replace the sensors once)

i just went to the site to check on replacement pads and i saw that, was an oh shit response, looks like they returned it to the price when it just had the zips and was grey haha

i did think about that as i do like the look of the grey body better but i don't want to take the risk and worry about getting a beat up one on ebay not to mention waiting and bidding for it.

i will sacrafice getting a grey body (not really a bid deal for me) to get a brand new one with all new everything. you can't beat brand new.

if the used one was beat up i would have to ship it to vst (both ways), pay for repairs and the worst part of all wait for all that to happen.

for someone on a budget, second hand is the way to go. luckily for me i just got a promotion at work so i will be getting the new 2kxl mcd from vst. now i just need to save for the eb16 effects board.

thanks for the tip poast

whaddup guys, i just bought a 2000 xl stock with a crd reader blue for about 1300 CAD...

loving this machine, i feel kinda limited because im coming from a 1k...any other heads here own a 1k and an XL?

I loving the feel of the 2kxl too but since i bought a 1k it feels quite outdated. I'm thinking of selling my 2kxl and eventually trade my 1k for a 2500 because the feel of the 1k is not very good. And i want the feel of the 2000xl and the technical part of the 1k, so the 2500 is my choice.
It's gonna be hard to sell my 2000xl though, it's my favourite mpc so far.

oh man...why dont you keep the xl..sell the 1k and buy the 2500...trust me man..keep that machine.the 1k is good for the road...thats aboot it, yeah yeah, new OS is dope..but the machine was made buy underpayed overwprked starving vianamese people that couldnt wait to get back home and eat a cople of grains of rice...MY 1k had maaaad problems-->erase button broke, 4 pads went, rubber stobbers fell off due to heat, tap tempo fuction stopped workin...i pee on NUMARK, cheap bastered...look at the new MCD compared to the older models...looks liek a toy...

oh shit..u did say u were gonna sell it..my bad..
