I got my OB6. It sounds so fat and amazing - even with all the fx off.  
 
I'm sorry, VSTs still have a ways to go. Either that, or Dave Smith and Tom Oberhiem still have the mojo.

If you want to have a "fat analog" sound from a VSTi, then record it to tape and digitaze it back to SONAR.
But never take a tape emulation - take a real tape, such as a Studer A80.
Therefore Steven Slate records his drumsets with a tape machine.

Dave Smith still has it, I'd say. The Prophet 6 is also great (and much better than the somehow disappointing '08).

Part of it is psychoacoustics I'm sure but a gorgeous tweakable interface does work inspiring and lets you play better.

I like Dave Smith's stuff and have an Evolver, but Omnisphere 2 is rich and phat.
