Drumazon and Nepheton is good too. Hoewever its sound is easily markable as 909 and 808 are not too new to the scene. But yeah, they do well what they're supposed to.
I love the microtonic, but the problem comes with certain envelopes, particularly the noise envelope. IT`s very hard to get a very very tight solid "real" kick sound from it. The envelopes seem a little too elastic.
I use it a lot though.

As for drumazon and Nepheton, yeah yeah, 909 emulation and blah blah.
Very limited in use, dated in sound and just not that versatile, personally I wouldn`t bother, you`ll get more mileage out of the others synths metnioned.

The Elektron Machine Drum on the other hand, is Godlike.
It`s more than a drum machine really, great to play, and well, worth having.
Expensive though, and support isn`t the best.
