Paid $475 -new. So far so good. It should have a wider selection of presets. But it does produce nice thick analogish sounds. Full size keys (a must have), simple- easy to navigate layout. Your ability to shape and tweak sounds in real time is suprisingly good. The vocoder (which is 16 band rather than 8) is also a lot of fun. Even though the housing is plastic, it seems to be well built.- And looks very cool. For this amount of money-nothing else compares. Just bought one 4 days ago. Paid $475 -new. So far so good.
