That gives me the same feeling as a concert grand piano or installed pipe organ. I'll never get to own one or probably even touch one but I'm glad they exist for professional musicians to use.
Luckily cheap software and hardware synths can give us all a taste of what they're like.
This Korg seems more like something for museums or professional studios.

£11,000 is a lot of money, but in the context of instruments is pretty reasonable.

The irony is that a professional musician in most cases has less budget to buy those expensive things than someone working e.g. as a teacher or clerc.

Yeah, you can enter the market of (physical) synthesizers for around £100, or for free via the myriad of online/digital ones.
Things like this aren't for making music (anymore), but for collecting.

I think you might need to increase the number by an order of magnitude or more to get into the ballpark of [new] concert grand pianos and installed pipe organs.
