I wouldn't compare the Leads vs. the Modulars. They are completly different both in sound and how they work.
Comparing the leads:
Nordlead 1. has a really agressive tone to it althou it is missing some keyfeatures which i can't remember right now (Sync and stuff like that which in my opinion is needed on synth!).
Nordlead 2. has abit softer tone but is overall a great synthesizer and has a great sound overall aswell. Really easy to create all types of sounds (leads (du'h!), pads and effects)
Nordlead 3. (Which I haven't played anything with!) is more suitable for pads (a friend of mine that has owned 1, 2 and now a 3) says that he only uses it for pads since it has loads of polyphony (compared to the other Lead X). It sure sounds good but it lacks that really agressive tone that you could get out from the other Lead X's. Still great synthesizer!

Nord Modular (V1 - G1 or whatever you wanna call it!) [Aye, and micromodular] - Now this is pure fun. You have loads of modules that you can connect, use it as an effectbox if you like. Build advanced patches which sounds great!
Nord G2 - Now, this is the Rolls Royce of V/A-modulars. If you can imagine a sound, you can create it! There is absolutly nothing to say about this than it's a great sound.
