Mpc 2000 Xl Vs Exs24, Is it worth it??? Options

[Mizzeh]

Hey everyone,
I'm the new guy ...Hopefully this will be my home for odd and unusual questions!! hahaha
Anyway, I have had an MPC 2000 XL for a while now and I must admit, I have not really used it for any projects thus far. I couldn't seem to get around the learning curve with this particular piece of gear...for what ever reason. In the near future I will be purchasing a large amount of studio gear including the G5 and Logic 7 which comes with the EXS24. My question is, should I sell my MPC because the EXS24 is easier and sounds just as good if not better than the MPC or keep it for reasons hopefully you will be able to give me.
Thank you very much.

I still use the original MPC60 and love it for certain things.
It's not the clock, it's the quantization steps.
I think there are 297 or so steps to the old MPC's. (per beat)
Any newer sequencer has at least 1000 or more available increments per beat. Roger Linn just knew where to 'draw the line'.
The MPC series is essentially a retooled Linn9000.
I had the Linn Drum and moved to the 9000.
That box was buggier than the Amazon. Akai bought the software and
gave Roger the bread to fix it. He did a good job!
peace,
