For a standard keyboard-type keybed, I don't think MPE would make very much difference. But maybe the other aspects of Midi 2.0 (automatic device configuration etc) is interesting enough for some people.

If I would crave for a more expressive, traditional keyboard-style instrument, I think I would prefer the Osmose (https://www.expressivee.com/2-osmose), which looks really nice. I haven't tried it though, and wouldn't trade my Roli Seabord for it either.

Just my few cents ...

Björn,
Clearly you have much more experience that I in this area.
Do you have an example of your playing to show what the Roli Seaboard gives you that lesser instruments can't provide?

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
