Waldorf Quantum or Waldorf Iridium?

I know NAMM is just round the corner and no doubt Waldorf will have something up their sleeve BUT I’m currently asking myself what’s worth it? Quantum or Iridium?

Now that the Iridium has a keyboard version recently released that certainly sways me to believe it’ll be updated more than the Quantum - which seems to almost have been left behind. Are the analogue filters really worth it on the Quantum? The screen is smaller and it has less polyphony which seems like a big downside to me.

You’ll probably call me crazy but I’m getting rid of my Sequential Prophet 10 to pick up either the Iridium or Quantum. While the Prophet obviously sounds absolutely incredible out the gate, I thought that sound over function would be for me but more and more I’m dissatisfied by its lack of complexity. Buying the desktop version feels like a mistake on my part anyway, I definitely need big synths like that to have keys so I can get to know the instrument better and more easily. I’m a video games composer and my favourite synth to date is the Hydrasynth which can do a lot that the Waldorf’s can do but the audio/sampling engine of both Iridium/Quantum really really appeal to me.

Anyone who has either or both have any regrets or fantastic experiences with them?
