OP devices' phenomenon
I've been looking at some videos about OP-XY (one introducing all the features) and frankly I don't understand its phenomenon. I mean, it costs around $2500-ish (in Poland, that is) and for that you get a 3S device, but at the same time you can spend like $930-ish for a MPC One Gen2, which, seems to me like a far more capable device than the former. Larger and without battery - I acknowledge that - but I'm unsure if I'm ready to pay $1400 just to have these features (and lose such ones as ~unlimited bars and number of instruments limited only by RAM and CPU.
So my question is: what actually is behind the TE phenomenon? People used to the brand? Some special features I'm unaware of? Hype of the community? Help me understand.
