Jupiter 8, OB-X (8 voice), MemoryMoog, PPG 2.3 or other in same price range and why?

Would love your input of which one to pick up and most importantly, why.

Why can only be answered by you really.. the prices those machines fetch can only be justified by your own reasons..

If I had the choice(Of Polysynths), these would be my choices in order of preference

Elka Synthex (Amazing machine.. had the use of one for about 6 months. Should never have given it back)
Yamaha CS80 (There is NOTHING else that sounds like one - Except maybe a GX1)
Oberheim 8 Voice (The ultimate weapon of Analogue destruction)
Korg PS3200 (Fully poly and modular)
PPG 2.3 (DM 82-93)
Jupiter 8 (The sound of the 80's)

Ended up with a Hartmann Neuron. I am really digging the PPG sound though. That one will probably be next.
