I know there's the option of a thumb, external HD, or internal HD but that's more $$$ after spending $2199 (even though I got a better deal).
Got a great deal on an item that I would’ve spent 200-400 dollars more on elsewhere.

Overall, it's excellent once you get the hang of it as both a controller and a stand alone.
Also, if you like to create your own original music (no sampling) and don't have sound modules or workstations, then you'll be using it as a controller most of the time to use VSTs/AUs.

Some people may struggle with the price point but even though $2100 is nothing to sneeze at, the price is fair and actually somewhat of a bargain considering the only upgrade that needs to be made is the addition of a hard drive (I spent over 1K on expansions on my MPC 4000 just to get it maxed out)

Overall this is just about as well build as you could imagine for something at this price
It is not without its limitations, but it is well built and has worked well for me

For some buttons this is probably a good thing (tap tempo) but for others I'd prefer a slightly different experience

The touch screen display first performs to very much the standard you'd expect from a modern phone
Outdoors I use the daylight mode and it's as readable as your typical phone
