The Modal CraftSynth 2 is in this category. I have one and I'd say I like it (but maybe not love it) - great for a class of digital wavetable sound no analog synth can match (but also does decent analog-ish subtractive synthesis). The SH101-style sequencer in the CraftSynth2 is a bit different to the usual, but in a fun way - works quite well for acid IMO.
The Korg NTS-1 is handy as long you are sequencing / playing it via an external controller - the ribbon keyboard on it isn't useful. It's versatile since it also makes a good effects unit (which is how I use it almost exclusively). There are a bunch of free and paid 'plugins' you can load onto it to expand the sound palette too, and even write your own using the open SDK if you are so inclined.
Deeper into DIY, Shruthi, Anushri, TSynth and (sadly unobtainium) Plinky probably fit on this list.
