I'm torn between these two, and can get both for the same price at the moment as a friend is selling their SL Mk3 and I can take it off their hands for the same price as the Launchkey Mk4 61 key controller.

Which of these two is the best bet, with one (the flagship) being some 7 years old and the other a year old?
