Woah I gotta peep the MPC Live. I had an MPC 1000 but traded it for an SP404-SX. I think once you got a DAW, pads is kind of a backward step but this shyt looks fun as fukk
EDIT : Just saw the price
Jesus 
$1199 on amazon
Or $215 a month from american music supply
Or zzsounds ..you can get them in installments no credit check and they send it for free the next day
The pads and having knobs to turn makes beat making fun and more involved than the clicking.
However the sequences in the mpc feels outdated from a daw. The tracks and patterns layout of daws is easier and less limiting.
But a big POSITIVE of the mpc live is the drums knock harder than fl studio for some reason.. And I'm not the only one who said that..even dilliot2k said it.
In fl studip I often have to add overdrive or distortion on my kicks to make em knock and sound good through my monitors.
I don't know if its the soundcard in the live or what or the samples they used
