Dave,
You're right to some extent, but the standard 16 track on the 9000's don't allow you to loop, or overdub. To do this you have to use the style sequencer and you can be quite limited due to staying in I believe CM7 for recording the tracks. It would be nice to have these features on the standard 16 track without having to stick to a specific key signature..
