I'm sure the MEP 7000 is a super piece of equipment...Again though, look at the price - $1600 +. That's 3 laptops
Again the OP was looking for a back up; I don't know if $1600.00 for a "Backup" makes sense.
As far as seeing your library, making editing play lists and such; you are restricted to a 3 or 4 inch screen to do that (same with the D2). If one was a cd based jock; the transition to this would be very easy. I can't fathom how anyone that is using a laptop pr PC could transition to this unit.... as a stand alone unit...again YMMV
