If you want to stick with hardware for sequencing, you could always go for an Akai MPC or Roland MV. I'm running an MPC 1000 with JJOS, a Korg Kaoss Pad 2 and a (shortly) Virus TI.
This will get you a great hardware sequencer, a good sampler, an excellent synth and some extra fx that can be patched in and sequenced as necessary.
Personally, if you don't like mucking around with VSTs on the computer with a software sequencer now, I don't think that a software sequencer with a TI is going to make you that much happier.
Good Luck!
