Such as? And reasons why?

Well its a personal taste thing innit.
Personally, I see more use in a semimodular synth like the doepfer dark energy or oberheim SEM, which you can fit into a modular setup later and continue to use forever. The LP is a good synth but its a one trick pony with a big name. An SEM has an extra oscillator too... And the DE and SEM are cheaper too, with more features.
Basically, I just think there are synths with better features than the Moog for a cheaper price. They just don't have the huge name on the front.
RANN posted that Bog Moog told him he couldnt' tell the difference between a real voyager and the arturia emulation if I remember right. So thats another consideration.

I went to Guitar Center and they have a demo unit for $800. Is this a good price for a Lil Phatty? It looked like new.
You need to find out if its a Stage I or a Stage II. The Stage II adds several features including MIDI Clock Sync which are very important, IMO. $800 is a great deal for a Stage II, but a Stage I can be found for a bit cheaper than $800.

Especially if you have to pay tax. Never underestimate tax when buying locally. On a high ticket item, it easily adds $50.
