:P It's the question what you want top do? I think the lead is enough synth, but without the sampleengine and the stage have the option to play samples sich every panel. If you have the money and the place, take it and have fun :thumbup:

I mean if you're looking to offload a Stage 3, I'll gladly accept it :D

it would go with a stage, etc, to be honest, it would compliment the stage 2 and give you further sound support.

Between your Lead and Stage you seemingly can do just about everything that the Wave 2 can do.

I have both the A1 and the Stage 3 as well. I previously had the P6, it sounded great, but was mono timbral. I got the A1 for more synth support with the 4 slots and ability to split and layer those. The ability to now load samples into those slots, process them with filters and effects, have 4 split zones, and the programmable arpeggiator make the Wave 2 a definite path for the Top 40 cover music I am playing.
