Of course, the slutty answer: BOTH ... !!!

However, part of my reluctance toward Andy is its jack of all trades approach to analog sound ... A bit generic, imo ... Whereas to me JP-6 has a more unique sound, very aggressive, screaming high end with great filters ... I can't imagine doing high-pitched sounds with any other synth really ... (and when you think of it, there's quite a bit of sonic territory there ... )

Pads on JP-6 ... ??? Not really ... Even Juno-60 is much smoother, organic ...
Basses? Maybe not ... (but it can do some big things) ...
Leads? Of course ...
Sweeps and bleeps and bloops ... Dynamite !!!

Maybe it's not as good of a first analog as Andy but I don't think it would disappoint either ... Esp. getting a nice reverb to go with it as it can sound particularly dry (which is part of its charm, imo ... )
Well, problem is that pads are not very cool. Especially if you make ambient music. Isn't that right Diametro?

To the Op.. I love pads...
