I am interested in purchasing an Avid Artist Control and I have seen some retailers offering the older MC Control at a significantly discounted price.

Aside from the cosmetic differences, are there any functional differences or reasons to avoid the earlier units? I am primarily concerned with future compatibility and with the fact that I am on Windows.

I suspect that a firmware upgrade would make the older unit comparable to the newer ones, but I want to make sure.

Thanks.
