Hi Gino,
I did buy it and I think it's great value fro money. I bought the ipad as I have to do a lot of travelling soon and I wanted something light and portable to create music. I have a tron but it needs about 100 hours of work doing and for now it will have to wait. The M3000 sounds good, can play 2 voices at once and the chord feature is great for those of us that can't play ie me, and allows you to do a type of split keyboard. I like M-tron pro but it is much more expensive and although it can do layers I would have thought it should have done splits as well.
I like your analogy about acoustic vs virtual piano but I think a lot depends on price, good acoustic pianos cost a lot of money, you can buy one of the Nord keyboards and get reasonable pianos and lots of other voices besides. A Steinway grand is expensive.
I don't think I'll ever be serious. :)

Get the M3000. It comes with all of IPad protocols that make it modern recording compatable Audiobus and all thet.. The difference is similar to an acoustic piano vs a digital one. You can get by with it until it is time to get serious..
May things get serious for you
best
