The "weak gutless" sound Glenn refers to in his article attributed to
the newer lower priced synths is mostly that many of them have only one
oscillator per voice. This dissallows the slight detuning of the oscillators
or setting them an octave apart to give a fatter warmer sound.
I have two Sequential Circuits Six-Traks that I had to midi them together
(rackmounting one) to get one decent sounding synth. together they are 
pretty nice sounding. Although the short keyboard is still a significant
drawback.
