Hank,
That is a good price for an AN1-x.
But make sure you buy the AN1-X for the right reasons (To make analog
sounds/synth sounds - not strings).
An An1-x has limited polyphony- good for 1 (maybe 2 ) parts in a song.
Go Play the AN1-x ...you may fall in love and buy it.
If you do buy it and change your mind- you can always post it for sale
here...I'm sure it will easily find a new home.
Todd :)
