Just out of interest, what does Polysix deliver that isn't covered by MonoPoly?
As raymondh said they have their own distinct sounds. Personally I find the Poly6 is better at filling out the lower end where the MonoPoly deals with leads very well. They both cross over and can perform well in all areas, but I feel that each synth handles certain frequency placements better than the other. I also bought these puppies pretty much at release so I've had some considerable time playing with them :D

We're only three weeks into 2018 so seems silly to be doing a favorite in 2018 poll. My favorite RE synth of 2017 was Legend! ;)

I'm not surprised that Expanse is at the top. It's one of those synths that absolutely just blew me away - just like Antidote did when it first came out

I have to say, one thing that surprises me is that ReSpire is up towards the top of the voting. When I read people's comments here at Reasontalk on it, it seems like people are super-pissed at the bugs that existing when it originally shipped (I haven't seen any threads saying things are all great now, so I figured it was still a bit broken). But anyway, I guess people are digging it now...

All is mostly fixed. I haven't encountered a bug in a long time. All that remains are small annoyances due to the fact that it's been developed for the previous SDK version (without pop-up menus), which makes for an awkward UI sometimes (there is an updated version planned, although there's no ETA - I'm not counting on it any time soon), but other than than, it's a great sounding synth with great sounding patches that fully deserves this ranking. IMHO.
