I have no money to buy it right now, nor do I really need it just yet, but it does look mighty cool. Hopefully there will be a review in next months Sound on Sound.. if the groove management feature is good then I will definitely upgrade.

Well allow me to review:  Thor is one of the warmest, deepest, sexiest sounding synths I have ever worked with - the analogue side alone is like a warm oasis and it comes loaded to the brim with a load of kick-ass patches.

The Re-Groove agent is brilliant, u just select your track on the sequencer, click a few buttons on it is routed through - there are about 32 groove channels.  There are also a number of preset grooves which are suprisingly good and have a profound effect on the sound - u can either keep it real time or commit the groove to the sequencer - only tried it briefly on a basic rhythm section and I was more than impressed!
 
The sequencer has been completely re-built - this is a bit of a frustration because it doesn't work in the same way - the new autmation procedure is intuitive but again it is very diff than reason 3 - I know it is better but I supposed I need to settle into it. 
 
Summary:  For the new synth alone, I absolutely love it.  The groover is fantastic and is very easily accesible.  The sequencer will take a bit of getting used to again, but it looked the bomb.    Apart from that (and more refills across the board, some nice drum-kits)  it is essentially the same as Reason 3 so don't expect a completely new package.
