The FM synth sounds really good, I'm a little worried about the cheap build quality.
I've owned many Behringer things and don't want to sink a lot of money in a big synth.
The octavia they made sounds good for a guitar octave, but not quite the real thing, its too midrangey. The 100 mA power requirement tells me it might be another one to break quickly under the strain of too much power, and a measley 100 milliamps is pretty hard to come by. 500 mA is more common

TBH I've found their bigger synths better built than their smaller stuff. Had only issues with the small units - strangely low output on a recent K2 purchase (but still enough to be useable), and my Wasp has badly out of tune by 2.5 notes oscillator 1 (should have sent it back but couldn't be arsed, as I can tune it back up on the main tuning knob). Irritating but not deal-breakers. One of their stupid flimsy PSUs broke 1st time putting it together as well, but again the bigger synths don't seem to use those.
UBXa so far is solid as a tank, no issues whatsoever. Monopoly and MS5 are probably what you'd call mid size, but the MS5 weighs a fkn ton, so I call it a big one. Both of those are solid too. Might just be my luck or whatever, but I trust their big synths more than their little desktops/euroracks.
Also again might be coincidence, but the units I had issues with were the earlier models, both Wasp and K2 are older. Might be that their production quality improved in recent years? I haven't heard about as many faults in recent releases.
