That's really interesting. I have both, and I find the BSII a bit too clean-sounding, and I turn to the Brute a lot more, mainly for arps and weird sounds, and I find while it doesn't sound amazing on its own, it blends really well into my mixes. It's not as if I do grungy music, either - I never overdrive the Brute's filter, so it isn't that.
I have other synths for bass anyway (Minitaur and MS20), so I've never really found a big use for the BSII, except as sequencer, but I really want to like it!
