Yup, for this money - correct. The only cheap Poly-Solution of this time 
was something self-made, but they were mostly even not able to store 
presets. In my opinion are (from the technical and possibilities side 
seen) the Polysix or the Poly-61 nearest neighbour to the Poly-800. Both 
are also not that good (as mostly everyone believes) but had a 
completely different characteristic sound. The Polysix sounds imo more 
analogue (fatter).

My personal favourite is the Akai AX-73, even before the Roland 
JX8-P/Polysix; it can produce damn good basslines/strings/leads and has 
a relative noise-free chorus, even if it has less modulation 
possibilities compared to the JX8-P.
