Just my two cents.. for the type of music you like to create, I think you'd find something like a used Triton, Karma, Motif etc more suitable. I think the Virus would be perfectly capable of creating the sounds I think you're after, but maybe not the optimal tool for that particular job, at it excels in trancy sounds I think.
To add a unique voice and to add a lot of variation to what you currently have, something like DSI Tetra (or multiple ones chained together!) might be a cost effective solution and would still be in line with the genres you're after.
I think the big appeal of the TI is the total integration feature -- and in my not-too-popular opinion, the USB support and DAW integration has been a let down to date, so if you do get a Virus you might want to pick up an Indigo or C or something off e-bay since it sounds like youre not a software guy anyway. At least that way you save some bucks and get a feel for whether the Virus is for you.
