Welcome to the forum Gentlemen!
May your infektion be prosperous.
I'd say that any Virus C-series synth is a great value from the "bang for your buck" perspective. The Ti is a kick ass board but if you are on a budget, then the C-series might give you the "Virus sound" you seek while allowing you to eat more than Ramen noodles for the next 19 months. Good luck!
