But still more expensive than FMHeaven ( an alternative software 
emulation program).

I think it sounds great.
But then again- I'm happy with the resolution of my 8-bit CZ101, 12-bit 
TX81z, and 16-bit DX7IIfd.

I wouldn't  call the DX200 or AN200 "gritty"- compared to the 
aforementioned synths its' quite clean.
