Dr.Groove 202, isn't that a Drum Machine? http://www.sonicstate.com/synth_reviews/Boss_DR-202.cfm
Or did you mean Dr.Sample SP202?
http://www.sonicstate.com/synth/boss_sp-202.cfm
If you can afford the SP808 over the Dr.SampleSP202, I would get the SP808. I owned one for a very long time and loved it. Recently sold it to buy the new SP808EX, but now I ran accross the RS7000 from Yamaha, so I might go that way since I also sold of my sequencer too.
The SP 808 offers you so many more possibilities than the Dr.Sample 202. But it you're only going to do some minor sampling and not really lots of effects and tracks then you might be fine with the 202.
The SP808's advantage is it's digital four track recorder. It also offers you a step sequencer that will work with an external device. There you can select at whatever measure you want your internal sequencer to trigger off a pad. But you could do that anyway from an external sequencer device.
you can check out the SP808 specs at http://www.roland.co.uk/prodcat/DETAIL.asp?ID=SP808
and compare them to the Dr.Sample202

Oh, to follow up your reply. I've only played out with the SP808 at a house party. Yeah, it was easy enough, with two turntables connected to my QUASIMIDI SIRIUS, and the SP808. It werked just fine. Most of the time I was just practicing [or playing DJ] in my garage.
But like I said, I've sold my gear in hopes to buy the newest and latest devices. I think most of my posts lately have been about the RS7000 from YAMAHA. I'm really looking forward to that monster. And the AN200.
Later.

Hey Jiten,
Right now I'm too busy to write music because of my job. But in a few months I'll have time to start up again. So I'm planning on getting the RS7000 when it comes out, and then later I'd like to get a NORD LEAD or a Z1.
Also, I like that the RS7000 will be compatible with ROLAND's GM midi format and voices. It'll also have the ability to create MIDI sequences that can be generated automatically, with samples being broken into parts based on amplitude peaks and then treated as MIDI data. You can then also apply the same processes and filters to your samples as with the internal synth voices. FUGGIN' COOL! Just like ReCycle!
RS7000 info:

and
http://www.intermusic.com/search.asp?NewsChannel=home&SearchStr=RS7000&Channel=FNT
The RS7000 is like the YAMAHA RM1X sequencer and also a YAMAHA SU700 Sampler. It does a little bit more than the RM1X and the SU700. I like the user-ablity of the RM1X's/SU7000 interface and operating system as opposed to the AKAI MPC2000. The AKAI MPC's are the BEST samplers around -- they have set the standard for samplers. However, every piece of gear has it's own personality and I've found that I wasn't comfortable witht the AKAI.
I was also trying to find an AN1X but YAMAHA is putting out a little groovebox that is just the DIGITAL ANALOGUE modeling box [sort of like the KORG EA-1] using the AN1X technology -- it's the AN200 [soon to be released]. Whats better is that it's three channel mulittimberal; where as the AN1X in only one. And currently I still own a controller-keyboard so I think it'll work out just fine connected to the AN200.
My experience with music equipment has been up-and-down. I've realized that feeling comfortable with your gear is VERY important. Sometimes you can get the "BEST" keyboard or sampler, but if you don't become friends with your gear it just isn't fun and then it's not worth it -- I know all too well.
You should try visiting http://www.vintagesynth.com
Once you're there click on "SYNTHFINDER," it'll ask you a bunch of questions asking you what you're looking to do with your equipment, what kinda styles and such. Then it'll give you a good list of choices for a studio setup. You'll see a list of samplers that you can read up on and see the reviews. What's kinda nice too, is that most of the equipment they have information on, it'll list who uses them [Orbital. Apollo440, Autechure, Moby, ect.] Helps give you a little faith in what your buying... sometimes.
If you're just going to DJ with the sampler and all you need is a "phrase sampler", the choice is pretty much between the SU200 and SU10. And really the choice is between price and specs. The cheaper SU10 is easier to use but the SU200 has more extensive and higher-quality features.
I hope some of this helps. Good luck, and I hope to hear from you soon -- let me know what you get.
