I agree, the machinedrum is not just the sound, it's way more. The
possibility to re-program the sound on every step (= parameter locks)
is the biggest attraction to me. Besides that the machinedrum can do
so much more then just drum sounds, especially with the UW upgrade now.

But I've got the perfect solution for you so you don't have to choose;
buy both like a lot of us. They are almost all I use nowadays and I
used to have a lot of gear! I use ableton with some VST's for the
things I can't do with the combo, but that's not a lot. 

About the ESX, I used to have one, but the UW upgrade made me sell it,
it just doesn't sound good enough anymore in comparison.

Good luck,

Ronald.
