Quick second hand sale help! MPC ONE VS MACHINE MK3

I just decided on an MPC ONE for $1350 new, then on Facebook market a guy drops a Machine Mk3 for $500!?
What u do?

Studio;
Ableton
3 synths
1 drum machine

My experience is that Maschine software works good as standalone but is a PITA when used as a plugin within your DAW. In general it´s a good product but I sold my Maschine MK3 to buy the MPC Live and I haven´t looked back. If you prefer working ITB then Maschine might be the better choice but the MPC works ITB and OTB so you get a lot more functionailty.

Mpc one. I haven’t tried it though.

The Machine seems really good but you get stuck in the machine world which is pretty frustrating and limiting. Running it as a plug-in sucks. And it needs a computer too!

The NI sound packs sound amazing though. I’m still using the samples on my digitakt, but the baked in sounds are even better.
