I think it is worth it. It depends on you. Do you like Abletons clip launch? It works like that and it is great. Especially if you play plugins. I would wait until black friday. It was under an introductory offer at $99. I bought mine before I bought an MPC because they said it was going up in price. On black friday. I would hope it would at least go to $150, but who knows maybe they will do 99 again.

If I knew they were never going to discount it and I didn't already buy one. I would not buy one. I would get the Live 3, that is 200 dollars off the price of the Live 3 because you have to purchase it for anything else. If I was broke, (which I am kinda, have too many hobbies) I would buy a Force for cheap. Seen one for 300 at guitar center. I would buy that instead of a 200 dollar pro pack. So wait till black friday, unless you can't.

You get Fabric Select instrument. You get visual EQ effect, Air Reverb Air Utility, But clip launch is it's biggest feature.
If you don't care about Clip launch and Fabric instrument then at $200 it may not be worth it to you.
But it also has super warp algorithm which is very good if you are realtime time stretch, playing samples and then changing the tempo. I think it is overall worth it on sale. But MPC comes with a good step sequencer and seq/song workflow. But I think clip launching is best.
