well the only reason im reluctant is because i do already
have a 49full key midi keyboard that i could use with
Reaktor or Nostalgia, and they have more sound options than
the micro korg, but then again the value of just owning the
physical synth factors in too i guess.

if you're gonna go down the softsynth route i would stick to
running Windows XP on your intel MacBook Pro - the reason
being that at the moment the only way to run any
professional audio apps in Mac OS X is through the Rosetta
PPC binary emulator which would be excrutiatingly slow since
Rosetta does not run code that is optimized for G4 and G5
CPU's (which pretty much any modern piece of audio software
for Mac DOES take advantage of)

of course i'm speaking from theory here since i don't have
one of these machines, but i do speak from experience of
using G3, G4 and G5 PowerPC chips

The nostalgia-sampleset ok, but not worth buying in my
opinion. The microkorg doesn't have enough hands-on control
for my taste. Reaktor is cool.
