Yeah I think this would be the one for me, more than the wavestate. I actually like the empty spaces, i have so many knob controllers & doodads that I can put on top of it. And yeah expensive…but I just came from trips to the US & Italy, and just going out to dinner with the family has gotten so damn expensive maybe just less of that & a lot more home cooking I could probably save enough to buy an Op6SE in no time!
