I think I’ll just wait for what other people drop on this, since my advice wont be of the essence…I’m thinking about the Ipad as well though, nice and smooth…

I cant speak for the mpd but i own the lpd and love it. Great build quality and very responsive pads. I dont know how the gap would affect you between the 2 unit’s pads if you are planning to use it as a 4x4 controller.
