The MV looks to me like you may as well be using a computer with a pad controller.
You're both right. The MV does feel like that, even though mostly it's in a good way. It ís something of a prejudice that the MV has a million screens to navigate through for basic stuff making the work-flow slow.
But at the same time I must admit the advanced editing that does involve more screens and what not is sort of the one reason why I sometimes very much miss the direct no-nonsense work flow you'll get with say the SP-606.
But the difference isn't huge if you're willing to spend a little extra time setting up the MV properly before diving in making a beat.
I do agree though, the MV series ain't perfect... yet.
I'm about to buy a 404 or 505 soon, but I'll wait for NAMM to pass by first.
