Considering purchasing one of these two soon but not sure which to go for. Obviously the TB-03 boutique looks way better, but looking at the specs underneath the hood it seems like the TB-3 Aira can do everything the boutique can and much more.

As the boutique is still very new, used ones aren't really available yet so it means buying new for the £350 mark. However, the Aira can be picked up used for the £100-150 mark. I'm just wondering whether the boutique is worth the £200 extra for (what I can see) is something that looks better but has less features.

Any owners of these got any thoughts to share or opinions?

 

the tb03 has cv & gate out so if you have any eurorack gear or plan on investing, that's going to be your best bet. TB3 sounds more like the original to me but the old school interface on the tb03 makes it really cool to program on the fly in a live setting. ive owned both, still own the tb03 mainly due to my first point, the Cv gate out. it can turn any eurorack tone into some kind of acid house thing instantly
