I want to create ambient pads

Two of the instruments mentioned in your thread title are mono- or, at best, duo-phonic. Even the Crave is probably best suited to arpeggio-based Electronic music.

Pad sounds usually require a high enough polyphony count that, no matter how complex your chord choices, there is no voice stealing.

You will have to spend an insane amount of money on a hardware synth before you will find a synth that will get you to something a VST like Dune 3 can achieve:

I’ve had my eye on a few of the Behringers last few weeks but yeah that Grind really looks (and sounds) great. 

I might just end up buying all of them s/h, connecting them to my Keystep and then selling the ones that appeal to me the least.

I'd defo be suggesting going the VST way and buying anything from uHe..

The basic version of Zebra 3 is free.

I have a Behringer Model D and its (ie. Moog's) left-right layout really makes sense; my only regret is that they didn't bring out the one with integral keyboard beforehand, so I had to buy several MIDI controllers to try and get what I wanted and still haven't quite got it right.

I have an old Roland SH-32, which I bought because someone had a Tom Sawyer patch for it; it gets a play every few years.

I've also got a Moog Minitaur which is quite good, but I sort of prefer my Behringer El Toro (again I'm wondering if they'll do the dirty and release one including pedals!).

This might interest older Fretboarders.
