I had a MPC3000 for awhile, though I unfortunately had to sell it...
I would say that the main reason that it is valued so much more than the MPC2000 is hype.
However, I do think it is better than the MPC2000, just not as much as the price would seem to indicate.
Two Reasons:
1.Really, really fast/easy OS. All the ops are one or two botton presses away, this is helpful when you're trying to flow quickly.
2.High quality outputs. I think that the sound quality of the MPC is smoother, more accurate, and bassier than the MPC2000. This really matters most in kick sounds and longer looped samples, but not so much for snares or hi-hats.
But really, these things can be compensated for with external EQ etc. It's just nice to have things sound right at the source though.
All in all, if they made a MPC2000xl, but with balanced, high quality outputs, then I would get that over a MPC3000. I still like the 3000 though.
Just a few of my thoughts.
