I don't have a Burns, but from what I understand, this is a reasonable line to start with for the price. For this specific model, due to its size, It won't be as easy to play as other entry-level models like Moog Etherwave, but those cost twice as much.
If you're on a limited budget, this should be a decent place to start, but I wouldn't really go any cheaper, personally. If you can spring for $250 instead of $200, definitely go for the deluxe model of this. The added size will really help!
