Ilove my PF2. Use it mainly to create round-robin note sequences where the sound on each note of the pattern changes as the voices are allocated differently each time. Good to have 4x full synth voices rather than paraphonic voices as that gives much more variety and separate articulation of each voice. It seemed expensive when I bought it but now seems good value compared to the Moog as you get more synth for the money.
This was the first synth that ever sounded miles apart from other synths I have (NB: The OB-6 was like the same sensation I have from the Perfourmer compared to other synths except that was compared to the Perfourmer!).
Our original PERfourMER has always been admired being a convincing synthesizer concept as well as offering unique sound quality. With a few added ingredients and a little further spicing, we proudly present PERfourMER MKII - give it try!
I had the same thought, or rather a similar thought: an eight voice mega-poly, with the matriarch acting as midi controller. The results were underwhelming, as I felt the two synths kind of covered the same ground.
I do think they sound very different with the filters open (and especially with the resonance up). the moog has a very earnest, bright, positive sound while the perfourmer is very somber, serious, and a little punchy, but they definitely have cross over.
