What is the advantage of upgrading from my Machine Mikro MK3?

What is the advantage of upgrading from my Machine Mikro MK3 to a full size Maschine MK3? I use Ableton Live 11 (soon to be 12, hopefully) where I do all my compositions. I enjoy having the newest toys, but do not want to waste money if the upgrade won't give me some substantial advantage.

The list is so huge is really hard to know where to even begin, it's really a night and day difference.

I suggest you watch some youtube videos of people using an MK3 to get an idea.

Maybe skim through one:

I don't use Ableton so I don't know how you want to use it. I use the Maschine software and had the Mikro for 2 years before getting the MK3. And for me it was a game changer. Many things I struggled with in Mikro are a non-issue with MK3. After owning both (still have mikro) - I can tell the mikro was designed to lack certain functionality so the natural path was to upgrade. So glad I got the MK3 - very fun and creative to use. It opens up the possibilities that were frustrating with the mikro.
