Hey fella,
Haven't used one myself, Have just recently bought an Access Virus B.
What a Synth that is........ I have only used Software VSTi in my music and incorporating this External Synth into my Project took a bit of getting used to but it can create some amazing sounds.

Have you looked on youtube for the microkorg xl? Always demos and sounds on there.

It might also be worth checking out the Akai Miniak. It has a comparable sound pallette to the Microkorg and has the Gooseneck mic / Vocoder option and should cost you considerably less. There is one on Ebay at the minute here:
Akai MiniAK virtual analogue synthesiser with 40-band vocoder | eBay
If you are considering building a midi setup for sequencing you could also add something like a DJX IIB module. This gives access to some decent dance staple sounds at a very cheap price (they sometimes sell for as little as £25 - I think I picked mine up for under £20).
Yamaha DJX IIB | eBay
Another addition might be a sampler (For vocals, Drumloops etc.) You can pick up simple easy to operate phrase / groove samplers for under £50 on ebay. Boss and Yamaha produced a few units which give decent results and can be implemented into a midi setup.
Hope this helps. Ed
