well, i love the moog delay. if you're not using its CV's and feedback loop options it's definitely not worth it. the malekko 600 bright is great if you don't need the flexibility. but yeah, you're paying for the flexibility...which i use to the fullest and value dearly.
pump the input level, put a few fx in its feedback loop...use ANYTHING to modulate the CV's...seriously, blast any kind of audio into the CV's for audio rate modulation of the parameters...
and me loves it dark lush echos!
