The meeblip appeals because it has lots of knobs (Rationale: as a beginner, you want to turn a random know and figure out what impact that has on the sound. With the Micron, you need to know what "pre-filter cutoff" means to go and navigate to it and adjust it), and also the open source aspect. The downside would be the cost. I'd be getting either that or a microkorg.
Well I love it. But I've also seen a lot of people hating on it pretty good. Could be because besides that my Mopho is my only other hardware synth, so I can't complain about it too much. It's very digital (because it is), and I like that. Like you say, I was ready for something with more knobs, and have a lot of fun twiddling on the fly. I don't have a lot of experience with the Microkorg, so I can't really compare. Either should be a little less obnoxious to program than the Micron.
