Having been a Korg nut for nearly 30 years (starting with the Delta - the only new synth I have ever bought), I never, ever thought I'd own the absolute flagship...
And now I do!
Don't care about the arguments about whether it's supported or not, or discontinued or whatever - like a cello, you use it for the instrument that it is - not what it might be or could be or should be... and I can't wait!
Okay. I'll calm down now.
(heehee, no I won't!
)Note to self - update signature once I've got it
... I remember very well these days, too. My first synthesizer was the MS-20, nearly 30... 
unbelievable 30 years ago. I was not sure whether I should get the Yamaha CS-5 or the MS-20. I remember myself reading the brochures for hours, again and again. There were soo many instruments that not only looked great, but also had impressive specs, eg the PS-series.. out of reach for ages, the Trident, and smaller instruments like the Sigma and the Delta. Always wanted to get the Delta as I had the opportunity to play one but then Korg released their Mono/Poly.... like you I never ever thought to own the "absolute flagship"... and now we do! 
Sounds - amazing!
