Am I better off getting a C 2nd hand???

[Synthjockey]

Hi all,

I'm currently saving to buy a TI desktop.recentley however I have noticed a few Virus C selling for around the 500 euro mark which is roughly one third the price of a TI desktop new.So I'm just wondering is the TI really worth the extra.I already have a decent hardware interface for my pc so Totally Integration doesn't really interest me so much. What I like about the virus TI is the sound , tweakabilty and the Distortion effects.

I have never had the chance to try out a C so i'm just wondering if anyone can tell me is there is much difference sonically between the two.If you could compare the distotion section on both it would really help me.

A lot of people seem to dislike the distortion effects on the virus but it is an important part of my sound.

Thanks
