2000XL got 4 pad banks
That's not correct. The 2k has 4 pad banks also, but only 1 button for switching pad banks. The 2kXL has 4 separate buttons for each bank.
But check the forum for comparing MPCs. I know Nicole posted a real thorough message (or link) to the differences between the two.
Personally, I would say if you can swing the 2kXLm get that instead of the 2K. There are a few differences that if I knew about them before getting my 2K, I would have got a 2kXL instead. Right now its not worth buying another MPC to me to get those features though. When I feel like my 2K is stifling my workflow or creativity, then I'll get something different.
Peace,
