I have been offered a second-hand Korg Kronos 61 for 500 € (about $600). This is a 10-year old model but it still seems a bargain to me, compared to the prices usually seen on Reverb etc.
I already have a decent-but-not-awesome 61 keys master keyboard (Panorama P6), a couple other hardware synths (System-8, Opsix, D-05), and Logic Pro with a ton of vsts (Komplete, etc). Honestly I hadn't a workstation in my radar at all, but the price of this one is so low that I am considering it.
I have never tried this kind of instrument, so the question is: does the all-in-one-hardware nature of the Kronos provide an experience which is in any way superior to the combination of Logic Pro, VSTs, and the other kit I already have?
BTW I only work in my (tiny) studio, I don't gig, so the "transportability" advantage of a workstation is not relevant to me.
