For the price the sound range, especially for a synthnoob like me is really great. This synth loves guitar pedals, so if ya have reverbs, delays, overdrives/distortions then try them out for sure. Cable inserts are nice way to experiment, there is a lot of information on the net about presets for this synth as well as other synth with 32slot patchbay.
What I would say is only thing that bothers me is no standard big-jack for output.
I dont use sequencer at all, nor do I use patterns, or start/stop and all that, i control crave with circuit tracks, so I cannot really judge those functionalities.
