Yea they are basically the same price, which is a bit weird.

Sweet, yea I’m into these “cheaper” old analogs. I like the combo of 80’s analog tech with dco’s. Sweet but with punch.

As a patch-player it works great and of course has a lot of potential, but if you get a controller (I had the Access Matrix programmer, way back when..) you will find 10x the depth for the instrument.  So many parameters are buried deep.  Also, you might wanna live-modulate the params, and in that capacity the 6R is pretty darned cool.  So if you can get a 6R and fit it, go that route - otherwise, do try to get a hardware control surface set up for it...
