Any opinions? 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. nick
