Oh! Well I'm glad I could help inform your decision even a tiny bit more. Or maybe I made it more complicated? 
I wasn't familiar with Akemie's Castle that much but I looked it up, that seems like it would go very well with NerdSeq controls as well. I hope you post some jams with it, I'd love to hear how it turns out. I'd be tempted as well but I have plenty of FM options already, just as hardware synths.
I was sort of considering Odessa as my next big oscillator purchase once I have room for it, since I want a 2nd polyphonic option. I used the Zadar as one in my Ristar song but to be honest it was a huge pain, it kept getting out of tune. I guess that's what I get for using an envelope generator as a VCO. I do really enjoy glassy bell noises, but if that's really all the Odessa can do I may skip it as well.
