PAiA Fatman vs ASM-1

[DrumBoy5 at aol.com]

I posted a previous message asking about the ASM-1.  I've done more 
researching and read about the PAiA Fatman.  I'm a beginner when it comes to 
synths, but I've built several electronic kits, some fairly challenging.  I'm 
wondering if the Fatman might be a better starting block than ASM-1.  Can I 
achieve the same/similar effects from the Fatman?  I know the Fatman isn't 
modular like the ASM-1, thereby not as versatile.  Anyone have experiance 
with both?

Any info is appreciated

Thanks
