Push 3 or Maschine MK3 or others?

[BrainBeatMusic]

I would just go for a used Push 2 if integration with Live is that important to you.

I get that but the few 2nd hand ones I can see are not that great value. The current cheapest 2nd hand ones are $550 AUD which while about 1/3rd the price for a push 3 is a lot of money to risk on something with no warranty sight unseen. This I think is also partly why I have not made a decision on anything I guess as most stuff seems to be out of stock locally so the ability to even try stuff out is limited.

I see, low availability of Push 3 is also making Push 2 move slower, if anything I will wait before Christmas to see if people dump more Push 2 at lower prices.

That is my plan to wait until at least Black Friday to see if the 2nd hand market improves (gets cheaper) or if the other interesting items go on sale. In a lot of ways, I am very much swaying away from just a controller as the MPC One+ seems like an amazing deal for what it can do even if the workflow may not be what I would prefer. I think the problem with the Push options is the lack of a song mode which from what I have seen the MPC in controller mode is more versatile in that area. I am still very much holding out to see if there is something else released in this space to over the next few months but that would seem less likely I think now.
