The Waldorf Q is a *very* nice synth - I got to check one out about 6
weeks ago.   The XT's are very popular right now too. At least two or of
my friends and acquaintances have bought an XT in the past month.  Not
really comparable to a Q but an interesting synth.  I'm so jealous :-0 
can't wait to visit for a 'jam session'.  I think the PPG 2 VST Synth is
all my budget will permit - ha ha ha

I'm going to piggy back my short wish list along with yours:

1) I'd like the Arp/Seq to transmit Note Events when LOCAL = OFF
2) When the Tempo is set to MIDI (for sync to MIDI Clock), I'd like the
synth engine to trigger from the physical keyboard when my software
sequencer is in 'Record Pause' mode. As it stands, you have be in record
mode to trigger Note On Events when MIDI Sync is enabled *sigh*
3) MIDI Sync LFO's would make life easier too. Oh yeah, and transmit
MIDI Clock too ;-)

Regards,
Jon
