The new OS is great.  In fact, I haven't had any problems since the <1.0 
OS versions.  Even then it was pretty minor stuff.

Don't know about this, but you might want to email Elektron.  Apparently 
they had a bad batch of chips from a supplier, which caused some 
problems.  It's worth the risk tho, since Elektron is really good about 
fixing problems.  I had one of the first batch and they had some 
problems with the knobs on them.  I sent mine back and they replaced 
them for free.

Yup, I use mine to sequence my sidstation and occasionally Vaz.  The 
audio inputs are also great for adding nifty effects to external gear.  
I use my MD to process vocals a lot.
