I dont think youd wanna go trade all that in after you just bought it. Your decision though.
I'd say get a sound module. An E-MU sound module. If you didn't know it, getting the sound module keeps you from paying extra money on features like a sequencer and other stuff. You dont need another sequencer, because you already got the MPC.
E-MU:
"E-MU's 30th Anniversary Proteus® 1000 is a powerful 64 Voice Expandable Sound Module that celebrates the legendary sound quality and cutting-edge synthesis features of the Proteus 2000 in an affordable package.

Proteus 1000 gives you all the power and flexibility of a legend at an unbelievable price.

actually, it would be well worth your money tp spend the extra $200 on a roland xv 5050, or for the same price you can have the xv 2020. both of these are superior machines (IN MY VIEW) AND I HAVE OWNED A PROTEUS 2000, AND THE ROLAND XP 30 AND 80, so i do speak from experience.
