I've got an ESX and its a great machine for sampling and mangling of 
samples by motion sequences. The UW however is more then that, for 
instance the sound of the MD is so much detailed and dynamic then the 
ESX. I'm at the point of selling my ESX because it does'n't have the 
sound quality I like so much of the Elektrons.

So, if your totally pleased with your ESX, I guess the investment is a 
bit high and maybe not neccesary. But be warned!!! Once you've become 
used to the MD sound, your ESX may become a bit less favourable...
