OK, about five people have reccomended the MOTM, so I'll sure to look at them when I have some more money. Right now, I'm more interested in hearing more opinions on the Paia 2700 and Roland Sys 100, since they're the only complete systems I can get in my budget ($500) I do plan to expand to better units such as the MOTM, but for now, I just want a solid starting block. Thanks for all the replies so far!
