if you've got the PG-800 programmer you get some pretty wicked hands on control which is nice for prgramming patches

i am not a fan of the Poly800... if my memory serves me correct it's not even analog.


as for the mono/poly. Love it . own one myself. :-D it's my flag ship for analog synths.

But i'm talking for buying brand new... hands down.. DSI is the best route.

DSI definitely the best to buy new.  Mono/Poly for archetype analogue monster.

I have a Poly800 that's pretty nice, but it's very plastic sounding.  The great thing about them is they are cheap (usually < $100) and very easily modified.  With then $100 Hawk800 mod, you can take a $200 (total) quasi-analogue kitten and turn it into a synth comparable to a $1000 analogue beast (and then some).

PS: The Poly 800 is analogue, but it's a digitally controlled hybrid.  Strange machine.
