Thanks for the responses, peeps. It's all about insight, and that's what I was looking for
Anything is portable if you have the right case and vehicle, so that's a non-issue for me. Also, sorry for rubbing it in, but money is not an issue when it comes to $600 vs $1000. Besides, if you get the vci-100SE you're only getting the lesser software, and to be on the level, (not downloading it via torrent,) your still looking at paying around $750-$800 bucks total for the SE with proper software.
The S4 comes with the full version software, guaranteed to work; plug-and-play, on top of that you get an audio card, sampler, more tactile knobs and faders, a better layout, and as stated here: enough features that you won't be missing anything. Not-to-mention the newer gear will have more support in the future, while the old will likely stagnant at the support that already exists. (BTW, I'm VERY impressed with the amount of support via articles and videos that are out there for the SE...)
Again, thanks a bundle to all who contributed to this thread. I'm going with the S4!
