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

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

im interesting in creating music like trance-minimal-techno,i already have a korg m50,so i want to go a little bit back old school sounds.what do u recommend me? always interesting in rack to connect it to my m50.
what a about micro q too?

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...
