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.

Haha, no no no no!!! You should choose what you NEED not what is the most for the least money :P

well Honestly I dont really NEED either of them. But I really WANT one of them

So in this case I think the most features for the least $$ works for me! The JP seems a little easier to navigate and it has more knobs and sliders to tweek...

The JP8080 and Virus overlap more than the Nord and the Virus. But overall the JP8080 is able to make more totally different sounding patches than the Nord. It totally depends on what your going to use it for though!

Going against popular opinon....

Go for the Nord! The Nords can scream like no other. Of course a little outboard may be needed.

nords are great but I really want to avoid having more outboard. I wanna nice streamlined set up. makes it all easier to cart around from gig to gig.
