Hi!
I owned a Mono/poly and i changed it for a Poly6.
The M/P played better, fatter and was more flexible (talking about 
sound) but I play live so i needed to store and recall on the fly my 
patches; 6 voices (instead of 4) are much better if you put both your 
hands on the keyboard, and 5 octaves are better than 4!!!!
I mean: if you work in studio mono/poly is better; if you work on stage 
you'll find Polysix more useful.
That's my opinion!!! ;-)

*******Merry Christmas!!!!! *******

Ps. Maybe i'll buy a Elka Synthex; any feedback??
