Nice read, I wasn't using mine, traded it for an MPC200xl MCD earlier this year. I miss it from a nostalgia point of view, however the MPC1000 is an extension of my self at this point, I can fly on that just like I used to fly on the SP.
Although the SP is dope, it's the man, not the machine, if you got it in your heart, you can make dope shit on anything...
