Way more capable.
If you want a sampler with sequencing capability then that is something different to just being 'sampler'.
If you want a hardware sampler/sequencer then buy an Elektron Digitakt, half the price of the MPC Live.

launchpad mini is worth looking at too at the more budget end of things, but it doesn't have velocity sensitive pads.
Learning curve is not too steep once you get your head around the grid idea. Have a go at the online digital grid player, it will give you a good idea of what it's like to use a grid controller

If you go down this route I'd invest the time in learning Abletons' looping style of recording, as you can create simple tracks with it in no time.
One thing with the Elektron stuff, is that it has a workflow, that you have to learn, I've only ever doodled on them and think I could get it to work for me, but I'd be hesitant to buy one untried (or un-youtube'd) as internet wisdom suggests a few people haven't got on with that aspect of them.

I'd suggest watching this as a primer into the elektron workflow.
