I got my MPC from japan (mail order) from www.ishibashi.com for a hot
$900, no strings attatched. Brand new, 100% legit. I have had it for
three and a half months now, and it is as good as it gets, don't believe
that whole "3000 is better, this is better, it doesn't do this" because it
is a load of crap. With a little patience and creativity, you can do
absolutely anything imagineable on an MPC. If you could find an old
SP-1200 for under $500, it might be a rival, but you WON'T find one, and
you sacrifice all of your features for that choppy drum sound, which if
you work on enough, an MPC can reproduce. Buy it now, thank me later.

p.s. ZIP drive is to the MPC like what an engine is to a car.
