As others have mentioned, perhaps the greatest thing about the Andromeda is 
that it can adequately replace many synths.  But I've never been that much 
of a keyboard player (10 years of classical piano lessons and I still don't 
have any chops), and the A6 is only the second analog poly I've owned 
(first being a Prophet 600 purchased new when I was 16).  So not 
surprisingly, the only synth I feel a need for to complement the A6 is a 
modular one, and even so, I can get nearly all of the sounds I would use a 
modular synth for in a performance where the modular isn't the only 
instrument I'm using.  But I've found Andromeda + Wiard to be an unbeatable 
combination (even if the blues don't match 100%).  (Other instruments I 
commonly use in the studio - Clavinet [no synth has adequately replicated 
it any more than replicating an electric guitar], Blacet modular, violin, 
Rickenbacker 12-string & basses.)
