you can add the following to your list:
Yamaha QY-70 & QY-700
Yamaha RM1x
Akai MPC series
Akai ASQ-10 (MPC60 without the sampling)
Kawai Q-80, Q-80EX
i agree that a computer is not necessary to make music, and not always the
best option. they can often be more of a headache than their worth,
depending on the situation. hardware sequencers can't be beat for live work
(so I hear) or for sketching out song ideas (my own personal experience). a
versatile home studio would be well equipped with both hardware and software
sequencing, IMO.
the only experience i've had with HW sequencing is an MPC60, which was a
great machine. very powerful sequencer and intuitive, unlike most software
sequencers.

good luck,
