I bought a micromoog for i believe 300 bucks and it is definatly a moog. Moog has BASS. That is one good character trait. Another thing about moogs is that they cannot be killed. Of course, I speak of their monosynths.
I did find a cheap polymoog at a thrift store with the top octave of keys missing(somebody elses spare parts?)...It does "work" but the global pitch will jump up about three octaves at random intervals, anyway...
No, the minimoog is not overated because it works. It will always work, and within its front panel, it sounds great, and you can actually fix it if something breaks.
