I can confirm that no one I asked to buy this VP-1 for me this Christmas followed through. I'd treat myself if I felt reasonably sure I could either A) rely on the instrument to appreciate as a functional investment, or B) reliability re-monetize it. The interface and software are most certainly a must in any case.
What would be better still is a re-release, faithful recreation/clone, or accurate software emulation. Having a functional example might make that possible, but I can't imagine A) or B) satisfied by doing so. Perhaps that's part of why synthesizers of this rarity and cost tend to appear on resale markets so infrequently.
I'm still horribly tempted, though, believe that.
