Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

I payed £100 for mine inc original box, manuals + quality flight case, not mega cheap (I've heard of people picking up poly's for £10 from charity shops) but they all seem to go for around the £200 mark on ebay these days.

The A station & xiosynth are cracking little VA's, I do like novations (I've owned those before and still have a KS4), although the flimsy build quality of the xio makes the poly800 feel like a tank heh.
