You can get em cheaper then that, My boy has the Miko but its fully blown, original cost was about $2700( he got a good deal) He is gonna upgrade to the quad core..which aint necessary for most peoples uses especially on here, but he has close to 100,000 sounds. Runs 36 tracks of pro-tools, has the Uad card installed. He still uses the MPC4000 to sequence it he had a shit load of keyboards and modules, and he got rid of everything except the MPC4000 and The ASR-10, and SP1200. This is actually a great piece of equipment..any problems, they can usually help fix your shit from where they are when you are online, You can continue to upgrade, even though at this point if you get the quad core, shit it will be almost all you will ever need. so its better then buying a new Fantom and then roland comes out with a new fantom in less then two years
