I was lucky enough to score the free Minimoog V original a year or so ago when Arturia were giving it away free on World Music Day.
I must say it is also an amazing sounding analog synth and very much like the original as well. Great thing about this is that it has a polyphonic switch and when you flip it you get a monster polyphonic version of a Mini Moog!
Highly recommended too. It is quite affordable as well.
I once had a room full of analog synths including a Korg modular setup and I have got rid of them all now and dont miss them one bit. I still have all the sounds available without the problems!
Another really couple of great freebies too is the old
Synth1 that has been around for years and it still sounds excellent
(there are tons of free patches on line for Synth1 as well) and also a very nice freebie called
Superwave P8. It looks a bit like a Roland synth and sounds it too.

John that Arturia Moog Modular must be a beast. I had a rather large Korg Modular too and I know how incredible they can be. Great that you can store a patch!!! Sometimes I would spend many hours getting a sound from my Korg modular but it may have been very late and I was too tired to lay down the track
(onto tape of course) so I would not touch a thing and turn it off. Next morning after getting up and even letting it warm up for a while that sound never came back quite the same! You
had to track the part at the time or risk never hearing it the same way again!
