Hey I'll respond to this since I use this machine pretty often.
The pros from my side: Portability (the reason I bought it)
Sequencing works good, enough sample room to get a track going.
Easily sample, or just drop samples from your pc.
Take enough batteries with you and you can make music everywhere, since it's very small aswell.
Cons :
Limited to only using 2 effects and 1 master effect which means if you want to mix it decently you have to record all your tracks one by one and mix in your daw.
The very small display is sometimes very annoying.
But for the price it bears this is besides getting a laptop maybe (which does limit your battery life and you will need an interface) the best on the road production tool.
If you intend to use it at home, it's quite useless compared to the DAW's which you have now, because they can do the same, and more, but easier.
