Should I get a used mki or new mkii?

Sugar1982
Hey wondering how much better the upgrades on the mk2 are if I ever luck into finding a good deal on a mkii for a lot less?

Does anyone prefer anything about mk1?

Hello,
MK2 features :
- Higher output level
- Thicker front panel
- Removeable rack ears
- Different housing, fully metal, no wood. Can stay 45 degree tilted on a desktop without feet
- Different knobs
- Different light indicators
- Semi-transparent keycaps to let backlight shine through
- Power supply with angled barrel jack

The UI and sound engine are 100% identical, both share the same firmware.

That's weird. I have a MKII and I wouldn't say my key caps are semi-transparent. I can see the light but it shines from gaps between key caps and the panel. They keys are solid white. Not that it matters to me, I remember where the keys are so well, that I could probably work with them in complete darkness LOL But yeah just sayin' . Everything else fits the description exactly for MKII, just not the caps.

They should be white, but it's slightly transparent (just slightly!) so the light also shines through. On MK1, caps were painted so the light would only come from the gaps
