I prefer the Akai apc 40 , the launchpad looks great though.
Yes they are built in asia and indonesia... thats globalisation for you
I wonder if any consumer groups could contact akai about their price difference, really its outrageous!

To buy a proper wax free chocolate bar here in the states its costing us at least 5 dollars. Or to watch epl games in our homes its an extra 50 dollars a month, if our cable providers even offer the package. You dont get the short end all the time.

Ahhh, nothing like a poke to a hornets nest to make things interesting here in the forum.
Op should start a mac vs. pc thread, next, those always go well.
