When I had my poco version, up against sylenth it wasn't that bright and didn't stand out in the mix more, but sylenth still sounded cheapish quality wise (now my TI eats both for breakfast
).
A lot of native vst plugin developers (especially the best synth ones at the moment like u-he and lennard digital) seem to be one or two man teams unlike access which is something like a 20 strong team and IMO not a fat lot of research gets put into the vst synths. If a say twenty strong team of native plugin developers got together and decided to make a more professional product than no doubt it would easily compete or maybe surpass the virus sound.
But that isn't happening, even novation who seem to be very pro software keep their best algos in hardware these days. Maybe the fear of warez is to blame for the lack of really good quality softsynths that can match their hardware counterparts?
