Just buy it. They're great for live stuff and will inspire you in the studio. I had the chance to pick up a MKII for AU$200 and missed it. Regretted it ever since. You can also probably pull out some cool arps and stuff from it.
At that price, hell yeah I'd buy it, as long as it's in good condition and 100% functional. You can always sell it on eBay for a profit.
I would ues it as a poor mans tb-303!
Just record loops on your daw like a cool bassline and layer them with a synth lead and maybe some pads and other stuff like drums! well thats just me if a had that box!
Honestly you know how people who want to look sophisticated buy fake books just to fill up a library in their house?
I would throw the cash out just for that reason. To make it look like my studio is more of a studio than it really is. Sometimes people come into my "studio", see my xiosynth, my computer, and are like "wtf". Even thought about painting a shoebox red and putting the white letters "nord stage" on it. =]

when artists say they use something, it usually means they own one. I really doubt that it was significant in their signature sound. Spending money on something a 200$ softsynth can do a hundred times better is what I would call a bad decision.

well i guess i just see it differently
Like going to thailand and being offered sex for 2$.Sure the price sounds right but you soon find out the person offering it is probably 8 and male, unless that is what you are into. I guess what i'm saying is that this device will make you a pedophile.
I own this synth, got it as one of my first synths. Its not that bad at all, it doesn't have a huge sonic palette but, it can do some nice basslines and bleeps and some other neat sounds. One thing that I love about this synth, (once u get used to it) is the built in sequencer, its a breeze, works like a TR909 sequencer, aside from the note changing. I find it to be loads of fun.
Usually I have it in bed with me, with a pair of headphones before I fall asleep, and create melody's. Then bring it in the studio and record into DAW, then run in Melodyne to get a midi file from it. May seem like alot of work for not much, but, once I got used to it, I'm pretty fast at it now.
If you never owned a hardware synth, I would say for that price, sure try it out, unless you find it cheaper elsewhere like ebay .
less is more statement always comes from people who have less (or sometimes those who has WAY TOO much).

those goes under the people who have less category. the best of them probably was under the people who had too much category before, see liam howlett of the prodigy and how much he has sold of his old gear caus it killed his inspiration. and from that we can expect an album any month now.
