A lot of people like me use the much cheaper but without the sequencer
PC-1600. 

Really only one big issue, you have to switch patches to access all the
parameters on the MKS-80, where on an MPG-80 everything is in front of
you. I wouldn't say the need for making some sort of label for the fader
box is that big an issue and the longer throw on the sliders of a fader
box is a plus.
