I'm really struggling at the moment to figure out if I should buy an MPC 1000 with the hard drive kit and an 80GB hard drive, new version pads (not faulty) and JJOS w/ 128MB ram.
Or if I should just get a 2000XL with floppy drive and a scsi cd rom drive.
They're both going for $550 and I am having trouble finding solid arguments as to why I should purchase one over the other. I'm a bit concerned with the 2000XL being older. I'm worried that some of the parts might break on it or the pad sensors might give out. What are your thoughts on the durability/reliability of buying a used 2000XL? What are common parts that go bad?
I have also read that sound wise there is something better about the 2000XL. Although many individuals dispute that claim and say that the difference is so nominal. I'm not sure what to believe. It seems like a bunch of die hard 2000xl fans and a bunch of 1000 fans.
