Yes, I already noticed the almost acoustic character. :)

Have a look at the official 440 page. The way I read it, the 
440 gives you the P5 rev. 2 filter. Now I never had the 
chance of playing that synth, but if it has five of these 
440 babies built in... it must sound impressive!

Anyway, who cares. I've got my 440. ;)
