Yeah the ASR10 is a beast,I used to have the EPS16+ so know how good they are.but would still rather have a midi Minimoog and an MS6 and an FZ-1.
I agree with you about the MS6,programmable from the front panel and multi-timbral unlike the Matrix-1000 (but a pain up the proverbial like said) ,which were similar price at time although I think the Matrix-1000 was about £100 more and only mono-timbral and needed an Atari/PC to program it.
I guess the Minimoog is love or hate,I love the Arp Odyssey more I used to have the single oscillator version the Axxe,its really funky,def what did Itchiban Scratch bassline,sorry a classic electro tune if you wondered what the hell I was on about. The Minibrute does a great impression of that bassline with compression.

The ASR10 is a beast of a machine. I quite liked the FZ1, and I've played about with an MS6 which is alright but has fairly horrible software.
Still not convinced by Minimoogs though. Maybe if they had a 12dB/octave filter setting...?
