Lightbulb pakKontrol,MPD24,Trigger Finger????????

I've done my best to look up on all these products but to be honest I'm a little confused?

Any help would be great.

I love the light's on the Korg but it looks a little light.

What would you guys go for?

Sorry about wrong area...just spotted it.

What particular questions do you have about them? Which is best? Personal opinions?

I have the padKontrol. I love it. Built well, great quality parts. Some people complain about the xy pad, but I thouroughly enjoy it. Those people probably haven't programmed it to control the xy functions of processors in Ableton.

The only downside is that there are only two knobs, and no faders. Both tremendously useful.

I haven't used the other ones. The MPD24 has different reviews here and there so I'm not sold on it. The Trigger Finger has been spoken about for a bit here and I've seen more than a few djs doing their thing quite well on it.

my two cents.

Flying pretty blind, I'd like to try out the Akai MPD24. Considering one of these is the pad controller for one of their MPC's (which have been the backbone of practically every hip-hop and dance track of the past 20 years), I figure that one would get the feel the most correct.
