Depending on combo ( piano, e-piano, clavs and so on ) instruments/midi-controllers,- the Kurzweil PC3X will be my choice if the OS is ready, bugs fixed and a printed manual available.
Synth wise,- I keep my eye on a John Bowen Solaris.
The Virus TI is a very interesting synth depending on features, look,- but for me it is too much techno/ dance orientated.
I´m not so much interested in patches being deigned for sequences, gated pads and arpeggiators and beside I prefer real playing w/ my hands and w/ musicaly usefull sounds ( matter of taste), I don´t want to edit thousands of factory-presets for my demands which definitely is too much time consuming for me.
My impression is, I can get all these sounds of Virusses and Nord Leads also by using software synths.
I have almost any of the NI stuff (except Traktor and Kore2), the OPX-Pro and not to forget,- Reason4 ...
My favourites are OPX-Pro and Thor then ...

But even if I´ll sell most of my racked modules next future to cut down the rig,- I´ll try to keep my Xpander, Minimoog and eventually TG77 (for FM) alive if possible.
