The Mothership
I bought this just for fun initially, but years later I use it as a sequencer in a live band setting, and it sends MIDI to our other equipment. I have a start and stop pedal mounted on my pedal board so I can stop it while I'm playing guitar. This works via a standard Roland damper pedal connected to a dedicated start/stop input jack (a feature which was removed from most subsequent Roland models) The tempo can sometimes drift slightly by itself which is apparently an issue with this model in general, but it's almost unnoticeable unless you're MIDI syncing to an audio device that doesn't time stretch. An external clock could solve this.
Akai Professional MPX16 Sampler
Avg price: $149.04
