If I played live though that would be different, I would be selling my granny to get hold of a minimoog voyager in a flash

Totally agree. About a year ago I got this wonderful OB-X emulation called OP-X:

$79 on EBay but I see now that they increased the price to $99. Still very little for what you get.

A friend of mine while working in my studio used it and couldn't believe his ears. He ended up buying the VST and selling his high-maintenance OB-Xa. He sold it for a lot of $$$, there are still people paying premium prices for that stuff, but unless you're a collector, IMHO it's not worth the trouble. Apparently my friend agrees too.
