Sorry...no demos, just the few (obvious) tricks I've tried so far :

I'd always used the boogie and the two borgs in serie before last week (boogie as 
"multimode" filter, one borg as tone/formant shaper or bp/hp filter, the other as vca), but 
:

Running two borgs in parallel produces astonishing stereo images, from natural 
spacializing to sweet resonant phasing effect when animated...

It's also possible to create some really beautiful and precise harmonic/formant structures 
when mixing the boogie's and the two borg's outputs in parallel and setting one of them 
to track the keyboard. (btw my borgs sound a bit different, the last one I received distorts 
more easily, but with a more crunchy sound, and allows to highlight specific harmonics 
more precisely, with an even more "woody" sound than the other (!))

I've also been able to find a very convincing cello sound with the boogie as a control 
source :
use the boogie to shape white noise (find the right mix of its four outputs), control its 
frequency with an eg (I used the very nice bananalogue vcs for this, too sad it's output 
isn't normalised to the "both" input...), and crank up its resonance. Then patch the mixer's 
output to the control input of a borg, the vactrols will do the rest ! (adjusting the boogie's 
parameters allows for a lot of funny effects, like when the borg's vactrols won't be able to 
track anymore, but there's a sweet spot where the attack is a cello one !) (the other borg is 
used as tone/body shaper, and the sound source is the sine output of a fixed frequency 
vco, fm'd and sync'd by a tracking vco/miniwave).

As for the noise ring, it conducts bird singing very convincingly, especially when the 
miniwave is used as a transfert function device in order to get different probabilities' 
distribution...But I like it mostly as control source modifier/exciter and tone source (in 
which case I patch a note-on pulse to the ext change input, to get that ever phased-out 
sound without clicks)...
(It woud be great to have a jumper on its back, allowing to use the clock output as a clock 
input (?))

Can't wait for the VCO...

I too have dreams of an more-or-less integrated "electric music box" (with matrix mixers), 
and certainly a dedicated controller would be awesome (I wish it would be more sensual 
than a metallic touch plate though)...

whatever happens, the 1200 serie is promising as is, and we don't want grant to run 
bankruptcy  !
