Don't get the trigger finger.
MPD24 is good, MPD32 is better and not much more expensive, out the box functionality is better, more rotaries and faders for mixing.
padKONTROL has great pads with lights and good velocity response, also has more functionality under the surface and a whooole lot of scenes (more pad banks)
In native mode, padkontrol doubles as a bidirectional DAW control surface (think el-cheapo apc40), look for nativeKONTROL or google for the Covert Operators' pK Squared (no longer supported)
