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.![:shrug:]( "Shrug")
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.
