2x Behringer Neutron vs. Moog Matriarch?

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>With the recent price drop on the Behringer Neutron, I've been contemplating picking two up to create a powerhouse semi modular. That said, I'm also considering a Moog Matriarch at some point down the road. </p> <p>Besides the obvious tonal differences (CEM 3340 VCOs in Neutron vs. Moog oscs), how would 2x Neutrons stack up against the Matriarch feature-wise in terms of patching/capabilities? </p> <p>While a single Neutron has 56 patch points vs Matriarch's 90 patch points, 2x Neutrons gives you 112 patch points (albeit duplicate functionality across 2 units). </p> <ul> <li>What are the major differences between the Neutron vs Matriarch patch point function-wise? Does the Matriarch offer significantly more sound design potential in terms of patching vs 2x Neutrons? What does Neutron have that Matriarch doesn't, and vice versa?</li> <li>Matriarch is stereo filter, but I believe 2x Neutrons could also be setup in parallel to be stereo (1x in L channel, 1x in R channel) or even a serial signal path (1st Neutron's audio into 2nd Neutron's audio input, which is then mixed and output)?</li> <li>Is it possible to use 2x Neutrons in round robin mode (a la Korg Mono/Poly)?</li> <li>Is it possible to patch between 2x Neutron units without issue, or do you need to keep the patching to each respective unit's patchbay for some reason?</li> <li>How easy is it to setup/polychain 2x Neutrons to be played as a single unit, or as 2 independent units from a master controller? </li> </ul> <p>These are just some thoughts that came to my mind, but any other insights on how 2x Neutrons stack up against a single Matriarch would be valued.
