I have the mpc1000 and s950 as well.
The mpc1000 is maxxed out with the EXM-128 ram and an 80gb hdd.
The s950 is maxxed out with 2.25mb ram. No SCSI. That's rare, but I don't need it. Saving the entire memory on a maxxed out s950 only requires 3 floppy discs, so that's not a problem.

I like the sound of the s950 for certain drums, loops, and other samples, as well as having 8 outputs.
Between both units, my sampling needs are met with much satisfaction.
If you like the sound of the mpc60, then the s950 is a very good companion to the mpc1000. Plus the s950 is a full-fledged sampler which has more functionality than the mpc60's sampling capabilities. For the price of an s950, you can't go wrong. I highly recommend it.

i know there are situations where they'd be needed, but something about 8 outputs on a machine w/ 2 meg memory MAXED makes me smile

If he is using the S950 for drums, 2 MBs is plenty for a drum kit.....and having the 8 outs to route his drum sounds is essential for easily recording and mixing his tracks....especially since the 1000 has a limited number of outputs. Those outputs can not be used to route other types of samples.
