Microkorg vs Evolver

Both machines have been discussed here already but I'm still unsure which one to pick.
Microkorg is cheaper and yet wicked for the price.
The only "bad" thing I heard about the Evolver is it being more complex to handle.

if i was you id buy the micro korg as its cheaper the sound quality is heavy and the disign is so user freindly.
plus you get a midi keyboard.
the korg is worth buying just for the vocoder alone.
value for money = microkorg

hmmm...
two different animals all together really. The micro-Korg keys are so small, I found it hard to play. some good sounds on that piece.
but the Dave Smith is badass! you just need a midi controller to use it, and it is for a bit more advanced users.
but IMHO the evolver is a better synth

Alright, found a cheap 2nd-hand Microkorg. Gotta sample the hell out of it and when I've a bit more money, replace it by an Evolver.

The Evolver has 2 analog and 2 digital oscs, with analog filters. So it's both analog and digital.

one of them will soon be mine
