Default Virus Aliasing

Hi all,
I was just looking around KVR-VST forum and I saw a lot of posts bad mouthing Virus synths, saying how horrible they sound due to aliasing. I know most VA's are susceptible to aliasing, but it seems like people at KVR feel that the Virus aliases a great deal more than other VA's. So, since I'm planning to get a Virus synth in the future I thought I'd ask here. Is aliasing in a Virus really that apparent and obvious? And does it really alias more than other leading VA's?
I've listened to Manuel Schleis' Virus sound sets and I did hear quite a bit of aliasing on some patches, but I thought that might be due to the low bit rate of MP3 samples. I've also played around with a Virus C quite a bit at work and it seems like aliasing is especially noticeable on patches with unison and heavy detuning, although it seems a lot less noticeable if I run the same patch through a BR filter (maybe followed by LP in series) with the frequency somewhere around the middle.
Just wanted to hear some opinions on this topic from the Virus users, since I don't own one yet and can't fully test it.

Thanks!
