That’s already the price of most Elektron boxes. If this new mythical Super Machine surfaces you can bet it’s going to be far more than that. I see the Elektron Hype Machine is in full flow over there. Gas-addicts crying into their wallets and the second-hand price they’ll get for their Digitakt 2

Its an offical store leak. 1495€
I saw that. That image looks modified to me though. Several places it looks odd, zoom in on the ‘E’ logo at the top-right corner. Dodgy.
Looks pretty much inline with the case leaks from about a year ago. So i would assume this is real.
I’d be extra surprised if it wasn’t real. Has been one of the more leaked devices and the specs are already out there.
Oh, I think the device is probably really just not sure about that “leaked” image. Looks sus.
Stand down people. No sample slicing. back to DTII vs Tracker+ 
You’re joking?! 
Nope. Loopop is to the rescue with the hard facts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrcaoGwYL00
Obviously, I expect Elektron to add those features to what is a flagship sampler, but you’d have to buy hoping those features arrived, rather than knowing they are on the machine.
Funnily enough, I think this repostions Digitakt II as more of a playable/fast/fun sampler even than it was before.
Took about 8 years for them to add slicing to the Digitakt

Does look nice and the price isn’t outrageous. I can definitely see a lot of Digitakt IIs coming to the market soon. I could be tempted but I had a DT1 for a while and quickly got bored of it.
Yeah it’s a good option.
So now without completely derailing the OP’s question:
- DTII: Elektron’s simple, performable sampler. Missing any kind of polyphony or voice stealing as found on the Tracker. Highly performance oriented.
- Tonverk: Elektron’s flagship composition sampler. Polyphony, multisampling, and busses for routing FX. Resample your entire VST/hardware colelction and make it playable. Misses things like sample slice, timestretch, repitch.
- Tracker: Y’all know what this is - but for me it’s a compositional tracker. Missing polyphony, but has voice stealing, and has 3x synths. Unlike the other two requires most effects to be baked into the samples. Arguably less of a performance instrument than Digitakt, but that’s a matter of taste.
Tracker to me of these seems like the most likely to be a fast in and out box where you move on to the DAW or finish in the Tracker. Digitakt needs friends to help it in some ways. And Tonverk in theory is ticking all the boxes, but may be missing some of the standard rhythmic sampling features people come to rely on.
