Overall, Ren has a 9 GB sound library that's included vs. Studio's 7 GB sound library (Due to Studio missing the 2 MPC Expansions)

Vintage mode now works equally more or less between the two as of v1.8. The MPC software itself is the same, basically allowing anyone with both a Studio and Ren to work on the go with the more portable option just the same as they can in the studio with the less portable option.

If the MPC Studio will suit your current needs just fine, what you're missing by not having the Ren isn't at all very important.
