Re: Used XL or new Voyager+VX351?
Yeah that's something I am thankful for getting the select series voyager it is more portable than the xl. It is my "traveling" synth and I have a hard time with it sometimes I couldn't imagine lugging the xl around now.
My modular so far: Q104, Q106 x2, Q107, Q108, Q109 x2 , Q116, Q118, Q127 w/Q140, Q130, STG Wave Folder, Mixer and Mankato playing with Moog Voyager, VX-351, CP-251, MF-104M x2 ( STEREO!) Volca Beats and Bass, Arturia Beat step
Re: Used XL or new Voyager+VX351?
I own an XL and find it useless for making music. I walk in the room, it grabs my attention, I stand there transfixed until hunger snaps me back to reality. No music is played. I am learning to sneak up on it in the dark so I can't get captured by its allure. So far technique has resulted in two successful sessions! However, I feel I'm under-utilizing the instrument because I really can't see much.
MVXL, MLPS2, AccessVTi2K, Korg MS2000, Novation K-Station, Alesis QS6.2, Arturia MiniBrute, Kurzweil 2500RS, MF-101,102,103,104M,105M,107,108M, Stuff

Since you seem to have missed it, MBlom finally decided to go for an Electric Blue Voyager instead of the used XL. So the case you suggested from Sweetwater will not fit for it. But this one will, and it also has wheels:

Yup! I sure diddelidid. This afternoon I'll pick it up. Have to save for a case though, I'll go with the one you linked to, thealien666. Too bad it's my girlfriends 25th birthday today, so she'll expect some attention. Doh!
But, tomorrow it's me and my Moog! <3<3<3

The cheapest I've seen an XL go for on eBay is $3300 USD. I wish I had snagged one at that price. All the others seem to go for around $3600 or $3700 used.

Re: Used XL or new Voyager+VX351?
First choice BUY BOTH!!! ...otherwise, I would say get the XL... I LOVE my WHITE XL ~ I am also glad I have an Electric Blue plus VX-351 /CP 251 etc (but they still don't add up to an XL!)
for alain yes - even the EB Voyager is considerable weight to travel with ~ I use a soft Moog case and a small Toyota

Re: Used XL or new Voyager+VX351?
i own a brand new XL. It is heavy. I debated the same choice and chose the XL. If the only concern I had was weight I would come up with whatever case on wheels I could come up with and move this Mac Daddy Amazing keyboard where ever. The weight would be easily ofset by not having to connect up the vx 351 and the CP 251. Having the extra keys, ribbon controller, patch bay, 2 LFO's and 128 more presets is not bad either. Get the XL. Life is short.
