Well I'm in the "More features the better" camp because I like to push all my gear to the limits. Are you sure you've thought much about how useful the seq Mike is making will be? The UI is fine, it's not meant to be a 32-track sequencer with all the bells and whistles that you use as your master sequencer controlling everything in your rig, it's supposed to be used clocked to another seq, and you can just throw in changes on the fly. It'll be awesome. I feel sorry for anyone running a single sequencer - I make sure even my drum machines and synced and ready to be routed anywhere at any time. Having four or five sequencers clocked together that you can send to any synth with a decent patchbay/merger is the only way of working that I actually find to be FUN.

See above. I have a MC-50, and I love it and plan on syncing Mike's Poly 800 seq to it. Mike's seq is not supposed to be a replacement for an MC-50! It's a completely different, and highly complementary concept.
