The wavetables and layer functions of a Summit bring so much more versatility to the table. Plus, you'll get one of the nicest reverbs I've ever heard built into a synth.
I have the Hydrasynth Deluxe and the Summit, if I had to start again knowing I'd get into synths, I'd pick the Summit.
The Prologue and Summit saws have the exact same upper harmonic content (and harmonic dropoff) with a fundamental at just over 1khz (C5, 8ft) for a saw wave. They are equally "bright"
I sold my Peak to buy a Summit.
I love using my summit

The Hydrasynth Explorer was my first synth purchase in many years... When I first turned it on and listened to its presets, I was blown away and convinced this was the best synth I had ever heard. Then I tried actually using it. Despite all the press and reviews about is unique, easy-access UI layout by module, I still found it hard to program and connect to it.
if you're willing to get a smaller keyboard with just as much range and variety, you could go with the hydrasynth explorer, arturia minifreak, or the behringer deep mind 12. these are all excelent synths
I highly recommend the Hydrasynth Explorer. Build quality is top notch and it sounds super good.
I absolutely loved the Hydrasynth Explorer I ended up spending around 3 hours with it and had a lot of fun just exploring sounds and modulation.
Hydrasynth explorer for deeper sound design and long-term utility
