Alesis Andromeda A6

Just curious.... How do they work together? Any reason to own both?

I have an A6 and a Micron.
I use them for different things - the A6 is for the studio only,
and the Micron I got for it's portability.
I have always thought of the Ion (and Micron) as a sort of poor man's 
Andromeda.
The architectures are similar, just scaled down, and of course virtual 
instead of real analog.
Besides the portability, I can't think of any reason to get an 
Ion/Micron if you already have the A6.
They work fine together.
Now I just need to find a case for the Micron.

I have both. The Ion is great for practices and
playing out because it is a fairly good analog
approximation, is easy to tweak while playing,
portable, and if it was to get damaged or stolen I
wouldn't be out as much as with some of my other
synths.  My A6 mainly gathers dust, as I have never
grown to like it due to its often obtuse operating
system, the less than helpful manual, and the poor
factory patches. People tell me how powerful it is,
but I'm mainly interested in quickly being able to get
a sound I want.  With the Ion, I can usually go to
something close, do some quick adjustments, and there
I am. With the Andromeda I start with some awful patch
that they felt obligated to throw everything into,
start turning things off, and usually decide to go use
another synth.
