probably even harder to learn than some other models being it's got a couple less features.
Probably harder to learn than the 4k, um, ok.

Entry level maybe because it's cheaper than the others?!?! When you first enter into production you don't want to spend mucho money just yet. You just want something cheaper to ease you into it.

Entry level maybe because it has less features than any other supported mpc on the market at this time.

agree...people confuse size and portability with quality. Funny I was teaching my young daughter a lesson on that when she asked me why some "small" things costs so much. I explained its the technology and utility that drive price and not the weight or size.

the 1/2 G will one day be a legend and will fetch high prices when hardware does eventually take a serious backseat to software (inevitable unfortunately). There will be people who will still want a stand alone box to do rough drafts. I plan on picking up about 2 more 1/2 G's and store away.

Yep, I am sure that the 500 can bang out good to excellent to outstanding beats also. Just gotta be in the right hands that's all.
