an ASQ-10 for around $500 sounds like a bargain to me. if i were you, i'd
grab it....if it doesnt work out for you, you could probably selll it for
what you put into it.
i always thought that the MPC60 (same seq as the ASQ) had the coolest
step/event editing interface i've ever seen, if you like using that type of
thing i think you'd like it. they're very quick and intuitive.
