torn between what groovebox to get

trying to get into music production (DAWless)
split between the EP-133KO II and the novation ct

(i am a complete noob, this is my first production/creation gear
I'm also currently learning the classical guitar (beginner stages) but have a decent understanding of rhythm and timing)

looking for something that -
(i) Inspires me to create
(ii) has a not-too-steep learning curve
(iii) aiming for a device that can do start-to-finish beatmaking on device without use of a DAW or other devices

As of now I'm aiming at making lofi-hiphop, house, IDM, basically a large variety of music, nothing specific, trying to stay general

I'm a little wary of TE gear atm bc of the whole badgear controversy, but otherwise I'm leaning towards the EP133

sell me on it!!!
