I would agree that another analog polysynth would be mostly redundant (granted, some high-end polysynths will do things that the A6 can't, like the CS-80's poly-aftertouch, or the PS-3x00 resonator filter, although you can get very close to the latter sound by running the A6 through a MOTM-410), so my preference is for a modular and/or an "electromechanical" type keyboard.  A favorite setup of mine for jam sessions consists of A6, Wiard, and a Clavinet (plus an Echoplex with the guitar signal running through it and a trigger pad on the drum kit hooked up to the Wiard).  A punchy-sounding monosynth would also make a good complement, I'm pretty sure that there's a good number of people out there using a Voyager with their A6 ...
