The 420 and 820 were created under completely different circumstances.
And plus... Paul didnt ask anyone if they wanted it to look like a Korg or
an Emu. Another huge difference is that the Buchlas Paul proposed are a
series. The 420 and 820 were not.

It should be a bastard offspring. Thats the whole idea. I definitely
agree that it will be hard to make a MOTM format look like a Buchla, but no
one is trying to. Paul was simply testing the waters and trying to see if
his customers wanted to think "out of the box" on this one.
