The exotic nature of the MM/MD is part of the interest personally - don't see many of them here.
In stark contrast, you can't swing a dead cat in Seattle without hitting an Amazon/Google/Microsoft employee banging out underwhelming Techno on an Octatrack.

That video you posted reminded me how tired of the combo I am but that's my own fault and it took many many late nights to get there. I have very fond memories of the sessions but it just doesn't motivate me to work that way any more.
I'm using the MM in poly mode a lot of the time and the MD adds a little percussion spice, Oktatrack for samples and Analog Keys for bass.
If they are rare in your vicinity I can understand the attraction though, just wouldn't expect the same Amazon/Google/Microsoft employee to make less underwhelming Techno on an MM/MD.

I've been messing around with that combo for so many years but the Oktatrack and Analog Keys are more worthy of desire than MM/MD in my opinion. I will admit to mostly buying second hand though, the new prices are probably a bit much.
