Rubbish.
I have both
Well, had both.
Nearly everything has been sold, because I can replicate the results perfectly well with software.
The only limitation lies with the user.
A lot of people with software simply don`t know how to use it or treat it properly. These kind of people probably couldn`t get any better results out of either analog or software as they really don`t know what they are doing.

I still don't get into the juno 106 hype duh! they're half digital. There's always a bunch of broken ones coming in at work. If you're ever buying one TRY not to pay too much for it as it's bound to go in for repairs a few times at some stage...
Well, the Oscillators are DCO`s but everything else is analogue, so you still get major phatness.
Never ever needed any repairs on mine, and I`ve had it since I was 12 years old.
So that`s, erm, 18 years.
It`s gigged all over europe, and was used in an industrial band, so it got treated fairly roughly.
As for the hype.
Well, play it. Underworld swear by them, and If you want soaring leads or lush chordal stuff, it`s top.
The chorus is nice, and adds suitable size to any sound.
Filter can really sing too, especially when coupled with some overdrive.
