From what I can tell, the original TSynth is around $200 to $300 for a full kit that you need to assemble.

A Behringer Model D is $298 on Amazon.

Anyone know how they compare sonically?

I understand that one is analog and monophonic, the other is digital and 12-voice, etc etc. But if I'm a simple person who just wants to make some cool synth sounds, which should I prefer?

Should add that I have a midi/usb keyboard and a Modal Craftsynth 1, which is a digital monophonic synth, with possibility to spread out into 2x4 sub-oscillators. I think it can be pretty good-sounding, but the UI is pretty bad so I end up using the companion Android app frequently, at which point I could just as well be using a DAW.
