(Disclaimer: I've only tried Rytmik, Rytmik Retrobits, and Rytmik Rock Edition [what was I even thinking with that last one]. I don't know if they've made things better in Ultimate but I highly doubt it.)
I personally don't care for Rytmik that much. The interface is a bit lacking for me in terms of fine-tuning options and I'm not a fan of the "slide up and down to find the note you want" controls. It's kind of hard to explain to someone who hasn't seen it. It's basically like the switching from the Game Boy version of Nanoloop to the smartphone version. Having to use a touchscreen to slide it up and down to get to the note you want rather than using buttons is weird, man. And the touch screen controls are too sensitive. I have to move ever-so-slowly to get to the right note and if I don't hold the stylus in JUST the right way as I'm lifting up from the touch screen it thinks I'm still moving up or down and the note changes. I don't have it with me right now so I can't double check this right now but IIRC it doesn't even give you any indicator of what note you're even playing (like showing C, D, E, F, G, etc. when you're changing the note in nanoloop or having a piano roll to choose from in the KORG applications) unless you go to a separate screen entirely.
The whole process just didn't flow very well for me.
I personally prefer DSN-12 even though it's pretty expensive (though I think they're having a sale on it right now).
Rhythm Core Alpha looks interesting but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.
KORG M01D is pretty neat, but I wish it had more options for effects and maybe a kaoss-ish screen like DSN-12 and DS-10 have. M01D alone just sounds too much like an auto-play midi I'd hear while visiting a geocities site in 2003.
I'd really love for KORG to make another application that merges both M01D and DSN-12. Maybe someday...

I'd love to get the last one if it's still available!
Is it possible to have our own copy of LSDJ flashed to it, or no? It'd be great if I could get all of my kits loaded onto it, but it's fine if I can't.

Black shell like one of ASM's translucent blacks, or just solid black? (though in the case of the latter I supppose you wouldn't want case LEDs, hahah)
Backlit buttons are no problem, though.

If nothing else works out for you, I'm in the US but I don't mind throwing something together for you ASAP if you don't mind the pricey shipping.
Here's some examples of my work: http://imgur.com/a/IPUxq

I definitely did email you back, not sure why you wouldn't have received the email or why your package hasn't arrived yet. I will be contacting my post office first thing in the morning to see if they can tell me anything. If I can't get it sorted out by tomorrow afternoon I will issue a full refund. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Seconding what egr said.
I personally recommend packing your gear up for a while, even if you decide to quit right now. Just take it all and stick it in a box in the back of your closet or under your bed or somewhere you won't see it and won't think about it for a while. Forget about it.
Then, a few months from now, or a year from now, you'll come across your stuff again, and who knows, you might get back into it. And if you don't, then you can sell it.
As others have already mentioned, it's a pain in the ass to buy the stuff back if you sell it now and decide you want to try again a few months down the road.
