Anyone who says this has never played a SCI Prophet VS.  Of course
comparing a single VCDO to four 8x DCOs isn't really an accurate
comparison.  Ideally a MOTM VCDO wouldn't be just a wavetable
oscillator.  It'd be much cooler if it could also run in the subsonic
range and function as a LFO.  Add a four digit display, encoder,
and a trigger input so it can also act as a programmable multistage
looping envelope.  Now that would be cool.
