I have only owned an MPC 2000XL and 2000 Classic both fully maxed out. I can either leave my sounds, sounding crystal clear or I can muddy it up with Lofi and filters. Is it perfect? HELL NO, do I like only having four bars to sequence with? Nah, but everything I sample or the drums that I use sound rugged. I got my Sp16 back in Sep 2021, and I've been in love every since. I think it seems clear for me to get the MPC One. ERM-Multiclock solved things for me getting lots of hardware sync'd. And when you use the MPC as a master clock and send MIDI sync out, there is zero clock jitter and it becomes sample accurate clock timing. External sync was my biggest gripe with the MPC and early on it had tons of clock jitter (practically unusable for me back then) but now its much more stable and usable. I've put up with the bugs along the way but most do seem to be fixed now, and while im still not 100% behind Akai as a company they do eventually put out updates that add new features and solve bugs. I have to say its remarkable the amount of stuff they have fit onto a standalone device.

The current MPC software has come a LONG way since the initial release of the MPC Live a few years ago when I started.
There are loads of great quality plugins and processing fx built in so you can do some serious sample mangling, or just EQ and compress some drums.
With the MPC as I mentioned above you have the ability to insert FX on a per-sample basis, kit basis, group basis, aux send basis, basically as much processing as you want to utilize. I got an MPC Live soon after release and that really covered everything I was hoping for and then some. The sequencer was great but it didn't have the editing and fx processing flexibility i was ultimately looking for, and this was before my first MPC. I owned the SP16 for a while and found it slightly limiting with the amount of processing you can do per sample/channel. With the right routing setup you could potentially run an MPC sample through 16 different processing plugins (4 at a time on various levels starting at sample, then kit, then track, then send, etc.) And you can stack lots of them up together, from what i remember the SP16 didnt let you use more than one or two at a time. I've owned both and I would summarize that if you want more extensive sample FX processing capabilities, the MPC is the clear winner with loads of onboard EQ/Filter/Compressors/FX/etc. I'm selling mine as I have an Octatrack too, so it's kind of redundant, but overall I really liked my time with it. I'd argue if you want to do lots of sample mangling, the MPC is probably better, if you want to record tight loops and get them into the groove fast, the SP16 is worth considering. The MPC seems to have a lot more depth overall, but that can be a downside too to some people. Assignable outputs work well too and the mixer page is really great.
The P6 filter sounds really good too and does help glue mixes together. The time stretch isn't bad, and its easy to trigger on and off on a per step basis too. I like the file management and the immediacy of it overall. However, it's super easy to quickly sample things and get them into your project.
Some of the annoyances to me: only 4 bars/64 steps max in a pattern, no clock/time divisions per track, all tracks have to be the same length, you can't "clear all" on a pad/track without manually removing everything, reverb can only be used as a master effect. I've had it for a few years and haven't really thought about ditching it until recently. It's good for simple loops and one shots, but if you're looking to use it for longer samples I'd think about something else. It's super easy to use and gets real loud and sounds awesome.
