I like my Sukar electric (with the upgrades I had done), it's more practical for me than my old Abd'el Haliem. (see "who are we": http://www.mikeouds.com/messageboard/viewthread.php?tid=411&pag... ) I actually even like the unique aesthetic of it ..it's a little bit Star Wars, a little bit Dune, innit?
One can also shape the sound electronically to create new sounds, for better or worse..
On the other hand, someday when I can afford it I'll buy a better acoustic oud.. there is really no substitute..
