My unadulterated thoughts:

1. Great sound, can get very gnarly!

2. Resonant filter and overdrive are nice.

3. Strange layout in my opinion.

4. Overdrive is VERY loud.

5. Sounds very much like a Korg MS-20 (same filter type: Sallen-Key)

6. A bit expensive but it is all analog.

7. Awesome size, fits in every setup.

8. Tons of sound design potential, great for techno/industrial tracks.

9. Very limited LFO.

10. Excellent arpeggiator.

I give it a 7/10 - if I needed a new mono synth I'd still be considering the Novation Bass Station II (or the Korg MS-20 but honestly, I am not into the MS-20), multiple filter types and more features but not semi-modular. It's a toss up for me.
