We had one for ages, depends what other synths you've got to choose from, I think I've lent / given it to someone I can't find the bitch anyway now, but mono ain't a problem, just use it in mono, distort it, or pan it somewhere, or a touch of chorus if you are running in a mix where there's not much else. If you can get hold of Roland dimension chorus unit (D is the best, C is a pedal i think) these sound wicked....
