I'm looking into buying a synthesizer, and my budget is basically the most bang for the buck

i can get a deal (from my local music shop) on a Roland Juno-G

also to be considered:

Roland Juno-D

Roland sh-201
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Roland-SH201-Synthesizer?sku=701861

Roland GW-7

Alesis Ion

the jung-g would be more expensive, but i can get a good deal and it does a ton for the price

i'm between the juno and and ion

mostly because i still want an analog-modeling synth with vocoder, and the sh-201 has no vocoder and isn't multi-timbral
