I have owned a VCS3 and currently own a Synthi AKS.
 I also have a Serge and a Euro system...
 It depends on many things
 1. What style of music you want to do on it. I am totally into improv
 electronics nowdays and can get a very similar sound from my euro as I
 have a Doep Spring Reverb and Joystick, so i am doing fast noise bursts
 not always using the filter.
 2. if you want the filter grab the AS one.
 just my aussie 0.94 cents
