Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Can someone convince me one way or the other? 

I'm looking for a cheap, ultra-portable, flexible, unique synth and
unique effects processor to go along with my Korg ES1 as a lo-fi
computer-free composition world.

nord micro modular and dave smith's evolver are at the top of my list
right now. Can someone tell me something that will tip me one way or
the other? 

I think right now I am leaning towards the evolver because nord sounds
have been explored by a lot of people already. And the evolver is more
constrained so it seem to have more of its own personality (if I want
to tear down constraints I'd just use a laptop, which I'm avoiding).
But the micro modular is slgihtly cheaper and increasingly difficult
to find.
