It's so easy to come up with interesting sounds on it that I'm re-programming all the time now. Yes, you can get the nasty, ballsy unison-mode basses and leads, but I mainly use it for haunting atmospheres, pads, and textures. I love arpeggiating a mellow sound w/ a quick attack and long release and just drifting away. The self oscillation adds a nice effect. The Juno-60 might be a little smoother on the pads, but I still find plenty of warmth and richness in the Poly, especially considering most of the sounds I program consist of just 1 VCO and no sub. The Poly definitely has it's own character and really stands out amongst my other synths (hybrid, PD, VA, FM, ROMpler) and even blends well w/ my JP-8.

This is a great synth to learn the basics of analog synthesis on and is solidly built. The knobs are very sturdy and responsive as well. It has that look that just screams early 80's and is great for new wave, rock, synthpop, and ambient. I've encountered no tuning issues or keyboard failures, either. I'll be confidently gigging the Poly w/ my band w/o thinking twice. I'll give it a 5 as I feel it's an absolute bargain price-wise and has inspired me not only in terms of writing, but getting back to my roots of programming sounds. Not just programming the Poly, but my other synths as well. An inspirational synth--what more could you ask for? I simply love it.
