First Hardware Synth - Intermediate Level

Thanks to Covid i had a lot of time to get confortable with Serum and Diva and now I wanna buy my first Hardware Synth, but the decision is, as you might expect, not that easy so i hope you guys can give me some good suggestions and opinions.

​

What am I looking for: In short - Versatility, because I'm more interested in getting better at Sound Design than to achieve a certain sound or play a certain genre. While I do prefer Analog sounding Synths, it doesn't matter if it is true Analog or Virtuell Analog as long as it sounds passable.

I'm Pianist so a Keyboard with atleast 49 keys that don't feel like completely trash would also be admirable. My Budget is 1500€, but i also wouldn't mind spending less.

​

So I have had my eyes on 2 Synths: The Roland System 8, which seems to be quite versatile but doesn't have a good Keyboard and the Modal Electronics Cobalt8X, which seems to be a really good deal considering the price.

​

Thanks for your help
