Thanks for this - so my question to you (and of course I do realize this is an opinion) - do you enjoy the P6 more than the OB-6 that you had?
The P6 will accompany a Moog Matriarch in my setup and I particularly want it for the keys/plucks/almost e-piano/rhodes like sounds. Of course it has a lot more to offer than that. To be completely honest, I have a dream that at some point I will again own the OB-6 also but for the sake of flexibility and versatility, I’m gonna go P6 now.
One reason I’m also going to give the OB-6 a little bit more thought is that the whole time I had it I was thinking why I’m trying to make my slightly lofi-leaning music on a synth that was (kind of) used to make Van Halen’s Jump. This is totally just a thought in MY head but I never could quite get over it. 
So, for now I think I’d enjoy and end up using the P6 more.

Ahhh such a difficult decision 
thanks for your input.
I’m sure I can’t go wrong either way. We will see.

I don’t think you can go wrong with any of your narrowed list honestly. They are all top notch, and you just need to decide based on the features that you want more or less.

Because you want a Desktop module i can narrow your 4 choices down further. All of the 3 have more keys than the OB6. So in effect your paying for the keyboard as well. So the OB6 is the logical answer as it has the smallest keyboard of all 4 and you don’t want a keyboard anyway, so there you have it.
If money is not a barrier I would go for P6/OB6. Rarely read a bad comment about those, everyone seems to love them and the demos sound awesome.
I just didn’t buy one of those two yet cause I couldn’t make up my mind if sound alone is worth this amount of money for me, or if I should just be happy with my cheaper synths
if it were me i’d go with the OB6 because of the classic variable state filter. and of course, the characterful sound that makes even the most basic patches sound addictively good.

I don’t think its been mentioned in this thread yet, but if you can live with the sound of the Rev2, its bitimbral and can split/layer two sounds at once, 4 or 8 voices per patch depending on which one you’ve got, so kinda doubles your bang for buck/studio space.
Disclosure, i haven’t tried it, just remember it as a main selling point for me when i was gassing for one a couple of years back.

IMO, it’s not a “live with” situation. The Rev2 sounds gorgeous, and then has all its extra modulation, splits and layers on top of it. There is a difference in sound between the Rev2, OB6 and P6 of course, but all of them sound extremely good.

don’t forget in addition to sounding great the A1 is super timbral lol

Well that seals it. When space permits, I’ll be going for an A1

Yeah I’m jamming with a friend on the TI and it’s a monster! It does everything, with like 82 voice polyphony and you can divide it in 16 part? It’s really one of a kind synth that does everything forever it seems, although I assume you have to connect it to a computer to really benefit from all that power?
Run a OB-6 through an Analog Heat and you’ll have the most versatile analog poly.
