Just make sure you hybrid the setup a bit Juho!
Going all software with no external control is crazy! You still need a way to mix and eq with hands on controlls IMO. Also it's nice to run your vocal though a valve instead of a software amp sim! I think the software route is fine as long as you have the money to buy the latest in full digital technology.
My advice is; Go and play an analogue synth sometime Juho.
And to quote you "nearly as good as hardware"
I have to admit, there are some great sounding softies now days, but put them next to a VA - yeh. nearly as good (some are better than VA even). Put them next to an analogue - 8O .
