I can def see the "bounce" mode supplying me w/ plenty of Eno-like loop structures. Will be hooking mine up to some real old HW (some would say vintage heh) and will be using note ouput as a r/t mod for my Lexicon PCM81 ambient patches. Plenty of good stuff will happen. The Monome IS interesting, but consider that one MUST always have some sort of CPU base in order to produce some sort of output - potential hassle. I can see a very social environment like a tabletop "pass it on" game where each participant adds his own thang to the kollektive output.

Here is a short video of what random people are actually doing with both instruments. http://youtube.com/watch?v=I-TN_P1KqzY monome 64 (includes tilt) $500
monome 128 $800
monome 256 $1400

tenori on aprox $1200 USD

I'd be afraid to get one and then find that they cut the price in half a year later. amoeba - it would be a lot more interesting if I had an extra $1,200 to spend.
