For example, if you only used 4 timbres on the TI Desktop (similar to what is available on the Snow) you will have more polyphony than the Snow, meaning you can play longer unison chords, longer drones, etc. for those same four timbres, than on the Snow.
Rarely, if ever, would you use 16 timbres on a TI. Not even close to that. You just don't need that many Virus parts in a song, unless you're using multiple part layering (several timbres playing the same part) and intelligently mixing them. It'd sound too busy, and you'd most likely want flavours from other synths, not just all Virus.

I don't know too much about the technical side of synths. Do you think the extra power of the ti2 desktop over the snow will make enough of a difference to warrant $700 US. Like I said, I like the look of the knobs and I even wish that I could get the ti keyboard, but I don't think I will need the knobs since I don't program synths. I mainly just use the stock sounds to make tunes. I hardly touch the knobs on my korg radias. I just wan't to make sure that I will be able to play all of the patches released in the future. I would hate for a good sound bank to come out and then realize that I can't use it with the snow because I don't have enough processing power for the sound bank. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my post.
