What amazes me with alot of these reviews and many of the rant posts on here and elsewhere is how many people seem willing to spend alot of money on a synth where the sound doesnt seem to be the main criteria.
I can understand spending alot of cash on a workstation on that basis - they are supposed to be feature monsters with lots of useable sounds, but not allways great sounds. But high end synths are generally something that you buy for its sound if you actually care about your own resulting sound.
I guess theres alot of people who buy into it allmost with the mindset of buying into the 'trance franchise' without knowning what they want.
If I'm buying a synth - something about the sound has to rate 5/5 before I will buy it, unless it is very cheap. Even when its very cheap - rack space/studio space has a value, and so it still has to justify its space and therefore a 4/5 is required.
