I suspect that the digital recreations of the analog circuits are more 
precise and accurate and less noisy. However for greater variety, that 
can eventually be programmed into the software too. If you can identify 
exactly what the affect you want, it can be programmed. 

The word 'model' can be used two different ways. In a theoretical sense, 
we have digital models of the analog, but things like the Microphone 
Modeller and the POD use modeling in a different sense - which is more 
like samplying what happens when various signals are fed in and looking 
what happens. They even take into account how adjusting the controls 
interact with each other on various models of amps.

But thats not what happens with digital analog synths.
