if you're looking for "electro" then I would certainly say that
the MnM (and the MD someday maybe :-) is up your alley a little more than
the Sid.  the MnM can do great Sid impersonations, but it certainly
doesn't have the rawness and character that the Sid has (nor does it
have wavetables or independently programmable oscillators).

so I would say that if the MnM's in your price range now, then go for that
and keep an eye out for a used Sid later.  they'll eventually go up in
price, but they've not gone up too much yet; so you needn't worry about
"getting while the getting's good" or anything like that.

hope that helps!
