Buying an OT MKII right now? Is it a good idea?

It’s is as good of an idea as it was a month ago.

Convince me that an OT was not a mistake

I just bought a used OT mk2 for $850 a week ago on an impulse and now im feeling like it was a mistake. 6 months ago I bought a DT and DN and fell in love. I use them with my effects board, guitar, and vocals - After reading and researching I had the thought the OT could come in like a brain for the whole set up. Id use the OT as an arranger (song mode), a looper, a mixer, effects, and as a compositional tool - was my thinking. So far I hate it. I LOVE the elektron workflow of the DT and DN. So…

1. buying: I prefer Thomann. Their extended warranty is really nice and their service is one of the best I have ever experienced (it’s worth for me not going for the cheapest).

2. keeping the DT: It’s a good idea to keep the DT around for a while. You may like to use both (for example by offloading drum duties to the Digitakt) and the OT may require some time to get into.

3. MK3: definitely not likely. Maybe a black case version in the future, but that doesn’t change anything in functionality. And “no”, to me the OT doesn’t feel old. It’s much more capable than the Digitakt (the Digitakt feels too much restricted to me).
