At least they where smart enough to give it vsti visiblity for your DAW, something that korg overlooked.
I don't see the difference with the M3 here: my Korg M3 sits nicely as a VSTi in my DAW, or am I missing something...
But, even compared with the M3, a great devive indeed, ready for the competition! (Even without Karma and a touchcreen). I like the mouse connectivity. It probably will sound fantastic too...
I'm looking out for the rack version of this one...
