I have a Sirius, it is really a lovely jam synth, and I like the 'completeness' of it in that you can do a full track if you try hard.  The sequencer is quite jam'able and friendly, and the overall sound can be tweaked into odd territory quite easily, though the presets do it *no* justice whatsoever.  The vocoder is quirky but for my kind of skronk, terrific.  I will try to use it at the next jam session, if I can find the microphone ..

The Sirius is completely mickey-mouse, but I fear that you will tire of its sound factor rather fast, since you've got much nicer gear .. 

The 309 uses a similar sound engine, I think ..
