Yeah, I had similar thoughts when I purchased my Polaris...needless to say it's mostly a very large multi-timbral sound module in my studio now. My pots are sketchy and such, but the main thing is that it's just very strange to control other synths with it, it's key action is just odd (although fine for playing itself).
