I've never noticed any bugs with the latest OS ... never!!
but aperantly there are some in very techy places (dunno when programing sysex.. or some destinations in mod madtrix .. I just dont know, as I never notice them .. and I do allot of seq and in depth sampling with it..
for me, quite frankly it works perfect!
the bug thing is hype ... look at the board.. you see any post with users complaining about OS bugs..
over the 4k the 2.5 has auto chop, patch phraise and better portability.. but the 4k has tons of features over the 2.5 and a way better UI largely thanks to the big LCD
its tight, its reliable, its fast and sounds great... no problems ever!! not even a freeze .. it just works!!
The MPC 2500 have more advantages that what you mentioned. The MPC 2500 has audio tracks, real-time pitch change (without impacting tempo), direct to track recording, and non-destructive chopping among other things. The "tons" of features the 4K has that the MPC 2500 doesn't can be added to the MPC 2500 by getting a cheap Z series samplers as I mentioned earlier. Since the MPC 2500 also have numerous Q-link sliders and knobs that send CC changes, it functions nicely with the Z series or any other hardware sampler. You may also want to take a look at the MV-8000 or 8800 which you can easily pickup for $800-$1200 if you are looking for an all-in-one workstation. Although they are not my personal favorite, they do offer numerous features that the MPC 4000 doesn't have while boasting a very powerful sampler and decent user interface.
