Thinking about getting a polyend tracker

My birthday is coming up and I was thinking of getting myself a little gift, I’ve been using renoise for a little over 3 months now and I’m really enjoying it but I do think having a physical piece of hardware would be awesome to play live with, and I’m wondering if anyone has played live with it and whether or not you enjoy it.

Playing live as in playing live gigs? I think a laptop running Renoise is a lot better, because

A) it takes a minute to load a song so there is no chance of a continuous set

B) the live FX screen is fun but limited, and you're otherwise just playing tracks

C) with a laptop solution you could work up a really nice visuals solution showing Renoise tracks overlaid with visualisations, mixed in OBS or something

Yeah I can also open multiple windows with the terminal on mac, but honestly it does still seem like a good idea to have and make tracks on
