Just a suggestion but you might get further on their forums as this one focusses on Korg!

Whilst there may be some here that have experience and/or opinions about your question there will be many more on their dedicated forums.

For what it's worth, having owned Korgs and only Korgs since the 1980s, I wouldn't buy either of them! Hint... Radias :wink:

I both own a clavia nl2x desktop and the blofeld desktop. While the first is a serious VA synth with its own strong character the second as I told you in a previous thread can be used as a jolly in a setup. NL doesn't have on board effect and sounds rough at first sight...
to answer you... it depends on what music do you create or play and what is your actual setup

I don't know the micro q... but for micro music you can chose the tetra as you asked in another thread, or an evolver that is still a big beast!
Pay attention to polyphony though, evolver has 4 osc but it's mono.

If you're into old school tech, I bumped into this synth builder the other day: http://www.mfberlin.de/Produkte/Musikel ... ronik.html

Website is in German, but there's some neat stuff on there and pretty reasonably priced, handmade too I assume.

I have owned an NL2 which I can say poops on the Radias and its filters...DiscoDSP discovery comes close to cloning the NL2but they didnt nail the filters.

Blofeld poops on both of them...though i dont own one as ive gone softsynth.

Largo is good for minimal music.. Korg Legacy is good too. Id rather own the legacy analog and digital than a radias....far more capable if you dont need blinkenleitz to make tunes. Waldorf Edition at its going rate is a no brainer for anything dance/tech/minimal etc...
