We reviewed this little Boutique (https://sonicstate.com/news/2022/02/07/sonic-lab-roland-jx-08-boutique/) - its got a very compelling sound, plus the ability to run essentially two synths, one on each layer. Plus you get the advantage of hands on control that the original required an add on controller to access.
