Sequential OB-6 linking to weaker Reverb landing page

I think I finally figured out why the seemingly-popular Sequential OB-6 is ranked so low (currently #93) here:

The EB entry for the OB-6 is linking to a Reverb landing page for the "Sequential" OB-6, which doesn't have any reviews... which was puzzling until I remembered that Sequential was still doing business as Dave Smith Instruments/DSI around the time these products launched. They didn't get the Sequential name back until a few years ago.

Take a look as the Reverb DSI landing page for the OB-6... reviews, sales, normalcy.

Curiously, the EB page for the Sequential Prophet 6 links to a landing page called "Dave Smith Instruments Sequential Circuits Prophet-6 Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer"... that's one way to cover all the bases, I guess.

Anyway, I know this is a very minor point, but does it make sense to link the OB-6 EB page to the more active DSI OB-6 landing page instead?

GEAR:
  • Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer
  • Roland SH-101
  • Roland TR-909 Rhythm Composer

To be clear, it's all Sequential now, right? DSI is no longer the "official" name of these synths?

I'm happy to make the Reverb link be whatever that item deserves, I know it's a hell of a synth.

GEAR:
  • Fender Telecaster Custom Electric Guitar
  • Big Ear Pedals Woodcutter
  • HeadRush FRFR Go Portable Desktop Amplifier

new to me but probably... they discoed a lot of the DSI branded synths

GEAR:
  • Roland Juno-6
  • Gibson SG Standard
  • Vox AC30 Guitar Combo Amp

Yes. They only do business as Sequential now. All products are officially "Sequential" products, not DSI, even if they launched during the DSI era.

I changed it, how's this now? Will have to wait a few days for the score & rank to recalc.

Honor has been restored to the mighty OB-6:

For the record, I demoed an OB-6 once, and it didn't really grab me... but it's hugely popular, and a very well-executed product... just wanted to see it be in the running here for buyers to consider.
