What do you think to Boss drum machines?

I've just been having a look at the latest drum machine from Boss, anyone have any thoughts? On the Bosscorp website they say their "instruments are for Jamming and Practice?!" By that it almost sounds like they're saying "instruments to fuck about with".

Here's the one I've been looking at:

Any thoughts?

Looks good but samples are a better option IMO.

You're probably right, they just sound like they don't have confidence in their own gear. They've been making stuff like that for years and I'm suprised they haven't extended their capabilities much.
