bumpy,

I listened to all 71 demos of the SampleMoog: it was cool that they showed photos of the various Moog's, because I'm only vaguely familiar with some of them.  In 1981, the first synthesizer I played (a Radio Shack/Realistic/Moog MG-1) after seeing Elton John with one in a Radio Shack ad.  I didn't buy it after trying it.  Soon thereafter, I went to more of a professional musical instrument store, tried a Moog Source, and ended up buying my first synth: a Sequential Circuits Pro-One (a mono-synth), I still have it.  I had an ad on my wall for a Memory Moog in the early 80's (way too expensive for me to buy).  That Theremin sound was surprisingly good.  I hope to get Arturia's Analog Factory software (can be bought for $99) for my birthday in less than 2 weeks.  I already own Arturia Prophet V (which emulates Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 & Prophet VS synths): I went through some headaches to get it to work, but after that I am quite happy with it (also available for $99).  My first polyphonic synth was a Moog Opus III, purchased in 1982 (I think it became rather obsolete in a few years: I paid $650 for it new, sold it for $400; several years ago I saw an old one for sale in a store for $750 which surprised me).
