Easy Choice as far as I'm concerned. All are cool synths and each person has
unique needs and taste. But I really would like to get an SH-5.

SH-5 is one of the best sounding monosynths ever made. Quite rare and a very
worthy "find". You may never get another shot at an SH-5.

There will be plenty of other chances to get a JP-6. It's a cool polysynth,
though it doesn't quite meet my needs/desires.

The CS-60 is cool, too, with unique CS-Series sounds. But without MIDI or
CV/Gate (as far as I know) it is somewhat limited in terms of use in a
sequencer system. If it really appeals to you, then you should get that now
because CS-60 is hard to find.

Maybe its a matter of whther you want a poly or a mono. But I'd pick the
SH-5 without hesitation.

Mike.
