I can't justify the expense right now as I'm barely using my synth collection lately. When I get back to my own music the obx8 is probably happening. Its more tempting than the the prophet 5 and 10 'reissues'. I've got a prophet600 that gets me close enough, but an oberheim? When I was shopping for one I couldn't find a beat up example at this price.
