Analogue-sequencer

(raises hand)

I prefer a 'professional' look to a 'laboratory' look...but it doesnt
ultimately matter.

I doubt anyone is going to decide to buy one sequencer over another based on
aesthetics.  Given two otherwise equal choices, the aesthetics may become
the deciding factor but I highly doubt anyone is going to rule a piece of
equipment out based on aesthetics as a pimary reason (unless, of course, its
given a purple shag outer casing with glittery sequined face plate).
