Yes I know! I couldn't believe it when I was reading up on the 
SidStation and discovered in Andreas Varga's interview with Bob 
Yannes that it is really the same guy who made my beloved Fizmo!

But I think the Fizmo and the SidStation are two completely different 
things. The Fizmo is a complex synth capable of video game sounds, 
but unlike the SidStation it is also capable of the most graceful, 
organic, evolving, sophisticated sounds. To the best of my knowledge 
(and I haven't played one yet), the SidStation is much better for 
dirtier, grittier stuff, and warmer sounds. But that's just what I've 
read.
