Reply to Should I keep it or return it?

Ok So I just recently purchased what I thought to be a new, but older model Maschine Mikro. Well long story short the controller itself was new but the maschine and komplete discs were already registered under another user. I contacted NI about it and they said there is nothing they can do and I should just return it.

Now, my question is this: since I got the controller for only 150, do you believe I should return it or keep it? I know it can be used with other software aside from Maschine like ableton, reason, etc. So if you were in my situation would you send it back or keep it? Will I be able to be productive with it in Ableton or another sofware?

Thanks in advance for the advice
