I really don't think you could ask for more from an analogue synth.

I wanna be on your side, but do you really think the kinda people who can afford this are the same people interested in doing outrageous bullshit? It's gonna be all 80's synthpop covers... "this isn't quite the same as my memorymoog, but it gets the job done"

$10 per day on doobies = $3,650 in a year
$8 per day on fast food, soda, candy, cigarettes = $2,920 each year

$8,000 synth on a 36-month, 0% financing plan = $2,666.66 per year (about $7.30 per day)

Yes, $6-8K may look like a daunting number at first glance (don't disagree and I'm not trying to nudge anyone into debt/divorce), but how many people actually know what they spend already on gear and/or total bullshit with no lasting positive effect on one's life (sweets, snacks, alcohol, tobacco)?

I live in a Randian paradise, where health insurance for a healthy 30-something would run me about $4,800 a year----I might go to the doctor once every 3 years for a lingering cold or a sinus infection. That means I can't be bothered to pay $15K on a single nasty cold. I can't afford office visits and prescriptions for things like insomnia, anxiety, depression, or pain relief, et cetera. I have come to realize, however, that if you don't spend money on bullshit recreational things (eating out, mediocre live music, tickets to the local megaplex), you can, however, battle anxiety and irritability with a heavy dosage of sonic exploration.

Circling back to gear, how many people even know what their collection is worth? I imagine for many people (hobbyists or pros), it's a matter of cobbling it together piece by piece, until 10-15 years later, you decide to take inventory for insurance purposes and suddenly realize you've got well north of $20K invested in your preferred hobby. I could go into much greater depth breaking this down, but I think a lot of people with fairly modest incomes are already in possession of well north of $8K worth of gear, they've just spread it out across several purchases, instead of zeroing in on one standalone item that negates the need for a lot of bonus items. If someone made a $5,000 guitar with built-in effects & memory recall, how many people would buy it on this forum? ----Probably only a handful of people. However, the same people who wouldn't buy it, will fork over $1,000 on a guitar and $6,000 on effects.

Anyway, I've got to get ready for work. Hope you dorks have a lovely Wednesday.
