I haven't bought it yet, pocket money finance, £20 ish per month...

I wouldn't normally buy something that expensive(I ummed and arred for months) and you don't need too with all the great budget analogs/gear available these days...It was just a treat to myself to buy it. I could live without it...I just wanted to experience a very old school style synth, to see what the hype is about. Has it changed my musical life? No, is it a cool synth, yes, so far...
