I fretted about the white or black edition, because the white model may work better in low light situations due to the buttons being more visible. I don’t plan on moving it around, so heavier is just fine. My thinking on the Arturia is that I want programmable sliders/knobs, and a good keybed - this seems where Arturia spent a good share of their product budget. When I could not get the transport controls to work in my setup how I liked, I decided to keep looking. I realized with the DT as my main sequencer, I wouldn’t leverage that part of the SL much. The keybed felt nice, and it has oodles of features. When I switched between them, I realized it wasn’t something I was getting used to. For a limited time, purchase a MiniLab MkII, KeyLab Essential, or KeyLab MkII controller, and get 3 additional best-selling Arturia plugins (worth over. The feel of the keybed was simply too different from the keybeds on my synths. Great lightweight controller (esp for the price).
