A humble recommendation?  Instead of a new synth, go out and buy a used
Eventide H3000 (S, SE, D/SX), study the MIDI section of the manual
very carefully, hook it up to your Andromeda, and go crazy with the
realtime MIDI control using the wheels, ribbon, etc.  The combination of
the A6 plus an H3000 under MIDI control is a very deep and satisfying
pairing.  The A6 makes a nice MIDI controller for stuff like this.

Guaranteed hours of amusement.
