Never stop - your reviews, and hints are priceless.
That said, I played around with the three demos again last night, putting most of my time into the SQ-80 because, well, the ESQm was probably the last hardware synthesizer I really enjoyed programming, and the SQ-80 plugin brought a lot of that fun back for me. For half the price of the single plugin I get a few more toys to play with. What's not to like.
The Emu II does a very nice job, it has been a while since I used the hardware, but they definitely got the vibe right. It doesn't appear that you can import "real" Emu II samples, which makes sense I guess. Same goes for importing patches from my ESQ-m, but they architecture is simple enough that keying them in works, and there is always that chance for a serendipitous discovery.
All of which is to say I'm in!
As for the time/attention thing - I share your pain, although I tend to spend a great deal of time with new toys when I first get them, but then get distracted. I must say that your taste remains impeccilbe - I have most of the instruments form GForce, Cherry, and u-He. And I will probably get the Synthstack 3 for the same reason as V9, for the price of the instruments I am interested in I get a few more. Maybe not the soundest decision point, but hey, I'm just a flighty guitar player!!
There's more than meets the eye
