I couldn't agree more.
 
As long as I can get bass that is too phat and powerful for a mix then that  
is all I need as I will invariably have to tone it down to get it to sit in a  
mix anyway. 
 
Joe public will be non the wiser whatever you use. I'm not a major synth  
head but having the Andromeda gives me scope to do anything I need, and knowing  
it is one of the best synths money can buy makes me proud to have one. I love  
it...
 
This 'my dick is bigger than yours' discussion is pointless!

It is not so strange really..the A6 oscillators are modelled  after the Moog 
Modulars. So is the moog filter. It is analog.
And it  has high quality outputs and VCA making a very beefy sound. The thing 
 
is,
on a recording, it won't matter as much whether its a Moog modular,  Minimoog 
or Andromeda that's doing the bassline. The listeners won't care.  They hear 
a pleasant sound, and that's it.
No synth on an album is  supposed to sound HUUUGE and oomphy, then it would 
just drown out  everything else. They are mixed together carefully. But you 
know this  already :)
Played singularly however, they can blow the roof off the  building..but it 
shouldn't be doing that in a mix, then the mixing tech  should get fired, 
hehe. I've made some amazing sustained bass sounds on my  A6, so big and fat 
the windows start rattling on the lower notes! My  landlords (very cute and 
kind old people thankfully) came down yesterday  wondering why the house was 
vibrating.
I said "it was probably just a  big truck passing on the highway. I didn't 
play loud". Hehe. All the  little pleasures :)
