Are there any "close to realistic sounding" VCS3 VSTs out there?

Last time I saw a price for a real VCS3 or AKS it was $10-15k USD.  There was an official EMS AKS VST years ago but it was like E400.  
 
I have the XILS stuff.  It is cool, but it sounds nothing like a Synthi (VCS3/putney).  
 
I have tried  Reaktor program to replicate the VCS3 and was very disappointed.  
 
Specifically, I am looking for the types of FX that the Synthi can do.  I really do not care about its ability to track a monophonic tune.  I am looking for Pink Floyd, Hawkwind, Eno... types of sound effects.  
 
Anyone with experience with comparing a real VCS3 to any of the plugs?  
 
Thanks

I have a friend that has a AKS and I know how to patch (pin?) the thing to get what I want.  The XILS thing looks like a VCS3 but it does not do the fx like a VCS3 at all.  

nice to read the hawkwind boys getting some props :-)
but no, i can't recommend anything other that the XILS thing either :-/
edit, google threw up some things to check:

most of these seem quite old now, maybe u-he should do one?

In case anyone cares, I've also hunted for VCS3 samples and have had very little luck - the ones I've found have basically sucked and aren't particularly FX-y either (they're usually percussion-type sounds).  I've got a couple of samples from an ex-HW member and they are excellent, but only a couple so re-use becomes an issue.
 
I had a chance to buy a real VCS3 one about 20 years ago for around £1000 and turned it down :-(

It sounds nothing like it?   Really?

I couldn't find it on you tube but computer music magazine had an article and videos where they showed how to create a generic version of the "On the Run" type of track.  It was certainly ball park.

I think Tim Blake was using Minimonsta as his main fx synth when he was with Hawkwind most recently, until he took a sabbatical last year to revamp Crystal Machine for a remastered release for it's 40th anniversary. Usually controlled from a theremin using a CV to MIDI convertor to drive the softsynth. Sounds very, very good indeed, and I don't often say that about software analogue synth emulations.

At one point Dave Brock had a Roland of some sort and at the most recent gihs I've seen a keyboard workstation of some sort.

I doubt an EMS has been present for some time, certainly not on stage at any of the well over two dozen times I've seen them over the last six years or so. Really any voltage controlled (so no stepping) synth with a resonant filter plus shedloads of echo and chorus or flanging will get you pretty much there. Even a plain Korg Monotron and a delay can do a very good job.

thanks all
