In our smaller/type city, there were very few mpc's available. I upgraded from a no name to a Selmer HS* (after trying all our one music store had.) But it wasn't too good for me. I finally found my favorite mpc in a woodwind specialty store in Oakland, (after trying every mpc in the store--LOTS of mpc's). The Borbeck #14 and #16 really suited me. I did blind tests and had my wife listen to every one. I chose what sounded best to me and her without knowing what I was choosing. Just weeding out what was not fun to play and did not sound as good, until what was left was what I bought. They had the tone, volume, and "feel" that worked well for me.
I now have 5 Borbecks (You gotta have backups, right?) and 2 Walter Grabner "Jazz" mpc's as my favorites.
