Wish this could happen with a nice Minimoog Vs the plug-in version of the same synth. Even in the hands of a talented programmer the plug-in won't do it justice.

heheh. of course you can hear the difference. my old guitar had a horrible flat tone. and my teacher couldnt get rid of that. but he could pick it and play it and he was damn good. he could have knocked together a lo fi recording of it and i reckon it would pass for some of the lo fi rock out there very easily. but people who arent even half as good as my old guitar teacher complaining that they need a genuine fender strat cuz their fender squire doesnt cut it - they just need to practice some more.
same with producers i think. if some tarnce!!1 producer makes out that he needs a real moog to get his fat basslines when theres clearly EQing and clipping errors in his song. that person needs to realise that spending several thousands of pounds on hardware doesnt necessarily make you a better producer. he just needs to work with layers of the aturia minimoog plugin and sort his EQing out. once he has done that and really taken his software as far as it can go, then maybe its time to get that elusive minimoog. the plugin will never sound like the real deal but i bet you he can get it close enough for the layperson not to notice or give a damn and he can still make a damn good song without a real one.
