The most popular implementation of a supersaw has 7 oscillators. If anything, The Legend HZ needs one more!

Sure, 2 sounds fatter than 1. But is there any difference between 3 and 6?
Of course there is a reason. I have several synths with 24 Oscs and one with a theoretically unlimited number.

Yes there is a difference between 3 and 6 but the fact that you asked the question leads me to believe that providing an answer will be pointless. Experience will give you the answer.

Like I said different waveforms, octaves, semitones, fine tuning, etc. Oscs routed through different Filters, Effects, etc, etc.

If you just need bone simple sounds then yeah stick with one or two but if you want something more complex then more Oscs = Wider range of possible sounds.
Judging from the GUI, Legend does not allow for routing oscillators through different filters, effects :?:
It doesn't even seem to have multiple filters.

Maybe I will try the demo, but I don't want to like it, the price is too much for me 8)

It does have the moog fixed filter on the back. Would be good to use that instead of the main filter sometimes

It also has BP on main page, but it's LP or BP.

Seems that the filter bank is basically nothing but a graphic equalizer.

You know what this one is based on, right?
You don't want to love it, because it is too expensive. So i am not sure what you want...

It is basically a minimoog on steroids. With a built in 914 filter and some other nifty additions. Sounds great, works great, great UI.
