Then I would say for the nice poly a more complex poly like an Xpander, Jupiter 6, MKS-80, or Andromeda.. For the Mono a funky/bouncy/cutting mono like the Arp Odyssey, SH-101, SH-2, or CS-15, And maybe with the cheaper machines something warmer like a Polysix.
But yes, definitely squeeze a sampler in there for some more options. An Emax does great Mellotron-type sample based sounds because it's a really gritty machine with extremely warm filters (ssm). It can do great string, pad, and generally lots of kinds of melodic-sample based sounds. And of course you can dump some drums into it and make them bump like a mother ****er.
