Thanks for the quick response!

Are you using the JJOS on your 2500?
I have read up regarding the latest Akai OS vs the JJOS, and there are some very good points to the JJ when it comes to chop-shop (true stereo support for one), but as I will probably use Bluebox and recycle to get samples into the Akai, I doubt I will use the onboard chopping.
The proper ADSRs with the JJ is cool though. As far as the OSs go, I have read people who think the latest Akai one isn't bad (2.12 I think), but then there are others that swear by the JJs. May have to try both...

The main reason I want one is to be able to play around away from the DAW and have some fun with rythms without having to power up everything. The sequencer is very cool and it just looks plain fun.

I am currently looking into the BK-N availabilty, as I don't wanna get one with the old pads. I will do a bit more reading and we'll see. Any other opinions are welcome guys.
