I wouldn't say that it's the best analog poly available! From what I have heard, it has a pretty clean-modern sound to it... I have spent some time with the SE-1x and it DEFINITELY has a "modern" moog type sound.. But just as I prefer the tone of a Rhodes MK I to the new Rhodes's they are cranking out, I prefer machines with more of a vintage tone.
Not that I wouldn't love having one, I would!
But I would MUCH rather have an Xpander and 2 grand in the bank than an Omega... mos def! I would of course buy a few more piece!
Yes, you are going to have to ultimately use yours ears.
But my point about having several amazing machines... you can swap them out if you don't like one. You get an MKS-80, like it but want something different.. you can flip it and get your money back, buy something different.
And Omega won't get you your money back... definitely a lot.. but basically if you score an Omega, you will be stuck with it.. so you had better be DAMN SURE you are going to want to keep it!
One thing to say about versatility. Sure, the Omega may very well be more versatile than most synthesizers... but not more than two. If you had an Andromeda and an MKS-80 (and with even 3 grand, you could!) your tonal palette will be MUCH larger than with just an Omega.
