I have problems (again!) with the official forum + opera/chrome and don't have IE installed atm so I can't really answer there (only one post in the last week or so)
Personally it's one of the first times I hear someone say the Virus is too precise in the highs and lacking in the lows
people usually complain about how it aliases and how it sounds too bassy and ominous. Might just be the style of music you're used to that gives you a different perception in respect to other people. There's so many guys using it for the different "new" (not classic/acid) trance styles (that I hate to death) that interested people start thinking it's a trance only synth, forgetting its strengths and the other kinds of music it is used in (tip: depeche mode, NIN, h. zimmer, tool, dre all make different kinds of music)
If I were you I'd look for one to try out beforehand. I'm quite sure that a shop having one will let you try it since it means getting quite a bit of money
I'd download the manual and the programming guide to learn a bit where the various functions are and what they do and then I'd "try to try it" if I could find a store that has it. To the very least, I'd look for someone nearby that can let me try his, or a shop that gives at least a 10 day refund formula (MBTC decided it was not his thing and got his money back and I think it was a good solution overall). this way you can try it and decide after creating some personal patches.
If you can't have much time with it and are only allowed a quick preset run, make sure you use the function to turn off all delays and reverbs (CONFIG button -> System 1/5 -> All Delays / All Reverbs = Disabled). It will clear your concerns about how the machine sounds without its wonderful FX. It will also turn some sounds to shit, those where the delay was used in a creative way like a resonator
IIRC Devine's sounds are an example of this.
Other routes you could take are a DSI MEK (or a PEK) if you're looking for dirt (and not having the Push me! sequencer button). A Waldorf synth. A used Clavia Modular. It all comes down to what sounds you like more,
I'm not sure I'd advice an earlier Virus, given that I use some TI specific features (some of the distortions, wavetables, HS osc) a lot.
I'm also not sure what softsynths could make you change your mind - if you found the Virus too clinical in the highs I wouldn't go with Zebra (too muddy) Dune (either) or the Virus Wannabes (Z3ta+, Vanguard), but rather maybe some of the arturia V or memorymoon synths.
I see the Virus fitting into the bass/pads part of most of your examples (it probably boils down to mixing but I want more bass than that and the Virus delivers), even with its fx only and no external treatment (or very little, or whatever you got).
Modern dubstep relies heavily on postprocessing at the computer, heavy compression, lots of reverb, multiband distortion. No synth can do some of the sounds alone without external fx, cut/paste&mess-up in a recorder/daw - the "wobble" in your YT video is a good example: it sounds like it's straight out of the synth, so it hasn't many of the characteristics people look for in that music genre. It goes back to the post-recording-treatment before. That's why the majority of those producers work all ITB and with synths/fx that I would personally say sound like shit. It's not the raw sound counting.
