It just makes it better, I think. Classic analogue is famous for getting out of tune, and being sensitive to temperature and stuff like that. Digital stability only means it always plays as it should and was thought out to sound in the first place. I have no doubt they would have implemented this back then if such a thing was possible. This is like the debate about tape warmth... Back in the days, it was a real pain in the ass to record stuff to tape and nowadays people complain about digital being to transparent - which engineers would have killed for in the sixties or seventies. Technology does evolve, and I'll be getting one of this perfectly tuned analogue classic beasts for sure and not give a crap about those that say the original sounds much better kind of bull - and it's true other foruns are filled with such people to the extent I can't even read it.
I was thinking of getting an analogue for a while, to be honest, but wasn't really interested in most of the stuff out there: for it's either short on features (or knobs, or both), or way to expensive. I mean, I'm pretty sure the Mopho, for example, sounds good, but to my eyes (and wallet) it sounds like a lot of cash for such a small device and having to dig through menus and all of that - just doesn't read analogue to me. I mean, I choose the Virus C over the Snow for some reason, and I don't regret it: I think people make better sounds by interacting with the instrument in an intuitive way, much more then having tons of features packed within menus, but then... I'm still an enthusiast for the features as well, and I obviously have no trouble with software instruments either, and that's why the snow is still on my wish list - or the desktop even, but would rather wait to see if something else comes up by the likes of Access, to.
But this new Korg, I think, is packed with enough juice on it to appeal to all those who have always liked the idea of having an analogue synth, but really couldn't afford the big ones, pretty much the same way as Arturia's MiniBrute - and not so much the Moog, which is far to expensive for what it does.
