you say that the TI range is overpriced. well, if you compare the TI to a second hand model you might get this impression but since the TI essentially costs the same like the C did (when you remove compensation for inflation and currency exchange) i don't understand where you're coming from.
i have my own opinion on what i would get but since i'm working for Access i leave you guys to this discussion. all i can say is that i'm personally tired of the sound of pure Virtual Analogue so i spend much more time using the new oscillators in the Snow than the old ones.

Hey Marc,
Adjusting for inflation and currency exchange when doing synth price comparisons is certainly a sound thing to consider doing, especially considering the U.S. dollar's poor performane in the past few years. Dollar for dollar a Virus gives you more functionality and better sound than any synth I have ever played, hands down.
There is also one BIG risk in buying used: The synth stops working shortly after you buy it. This happened to our own Digital Screams after buying a DX7 mkii a year or so ago, at a pretty penny too if I remember correctly.
Also, it is important to be able to differentiate when something does not work, VS, when it is a new piece of gear that the owner does not know how to work yet. Frustration is quick to manifest, and patience slow to prevail.
