I have both. I think it might be more accurate to say that tha A-110
sounds "dirtier" and the A-111 sounds "cleaner". The A-111 has a
dedicated cult following. I currently use 3 A110s, can't justify the
extra space or expense for the A111s to myself.

I'm not familiar with the A-112. Bakis will probably give you
comments on it.

The A-155 offers ties rather than just 16th notes.
The A-155 has a toggle switch for each step, whearas the MAQ 16/3 uses
the knobs for both pitch and step on/off functions, nowhere near as
musical or useful.
The A-155 is easy to sync with Midi, but the MAQ 16/3 is reputed to
have problems if it's not the master clock.
The A-155 can sequence external audio or CV signals, the MAQ can't.

Having both might be ideal. I use both an A-155 and a Regelwerk for
step sequencing.

Many people dislike the A-132 dual VCA. I love the thing.
