I would say JP-8080 - just because I know it's a quality piece of equipment.

However... do you already have a Virus?
If so - you may find these synths do exactly the same thing.

I think you are being very unfair :P
'exactly' did not really mean 'exactly'.

The Virus and JP-8080 are both subtractive VA-type synths with what appears to me to be very similar feature sets.

There is a lot of JP-8080 sounds which can be replicated on the Virus and vice-versa.

It sounds like c mode has a limited budget and is looking to only buy 1 synth.
If he (/she) already has a Virus then a JP-8080 (a subtractive VA synth) will not offer any (many) new sounds or facilities.
