Not my intention, overall it was an in depth review.

I felt that the Quasimidi polymorph gripe was a bit much and saying the 
cheesy 80's tune wasn't a good introduction wasn't needed.  I hate lots 
of presets on my gear and that's why i erase them all and spend a few 
months working on the studio-tan and sounddiving and would never let 
something like that influence my opinion of a piece of gear.
I think these machines are perfect regardless of extra noise or lack of 
triplets.
Besides, I'm with machinedrum, and he's good mates with mono, and if 
you got a problem with them then you got a problem with me!
