I personally and liking the ableton push and also what they just posted on the homepage
Arturia SparkLE Drum Machine

What It’s Got: Nice pads, slim and portable form factor, wide assortment of controls.
What It’s Not: Completely standalone – shines most when paired with the Spark plugin
Price: $299 / €249
Software: Full Spark software included

thanks, Im confused a lot, because maschine and push are great at their level, I excluded base, right now its just about Mk2 or Push.

Didn't mean for it to come off as myself owning one. Im just debating between them. Cause I personally enjoy having a keyboard in front of me. I wish I had a push

i´ve already have my keyboard,
lets try to conclude my opinion.
Mk2 or Push?
I need a portable controller, with great live performance skills, great sampling modes and the best workflow.
suggestions?

We don't know much about the Push workflow yet. It could very well be the hottest thing since sliced bread as Ableton was plagued with too much mouse/keyboard involvement for my creative needs. If the Push has what I think it's going to it's going to give Maschine a real run, unlike the MPC Studio/Renaissance which is already a flop if you ask me.
