I don't mind the ION at all actually. It's not an all in one box though - kinda similar to the Nords in that respect.
The filter combos are pretty cool, plus it can get some really quirky sounds.
The thing that put me off of them when they first came out was the hardware glitches and bugs. But even though now they seem to be all fixed I still wouldn't buy another standard VA.
At any rate, for the money I would spend on an ION I could get a used 101 and MS10. I think I'd know which I'd choose.
