You can buy 2 Micros for the price of one rack.

Be sure that I'll need...well, I don't need 75 voices, 60 would be
enough..:-)
In fact its polyphony may be reduced to 16 voices, it'll depend of the
patch complexity...and I'm not sure if the drum sounds are independent, I
read about it but I can't recall where.
I'm using only my AN1x, and a sampler (Ok, I'm also using a SBlive). As you
may see I really need more (real) synth voices. And to import a new synth I
have to wait untill february, or it'll take about 6 months to "cross" the
customs (and I'll have to pay an import tax of about 50%)
In fact I realized that there's an Waldorf Dealer at Buenos Aires, Argentina
(I can't believe that those Argentinians have it and we don't...but shit
happens...and more often to them..:-), but I'll have to assume the risk to
loose my MicroQ in the customs when it come back...

I agree w/ you. But there's the "sentimental" thing.
My version: "That's it! I'm trying to buy a synth for a while!!"...:-)
