you wouldnt have much change out of 2000 grand
Those are really good points and I haven't thought about that, but still... computers are way more versatile - they can be samplers, synths, sequencers, fx units etc.

I’ll just use my cousin as an example: he bought an S6000XL for 1.500 euros six months ago and hasn’t used it since. He records everything through his Delta 1010 and uses HALion to sample his Juno 106 and other instruments. This means the AKAI was a complete waste of money unless he starts doing live performances.
