I think the Virus does sound a touch dark. But it's a character that has won itself many favours. I think the Virus' strength is the middle frequencies of the filters (and their envelopes), they really punch through.
That said, Ben (Crosland) has mentioned that the TI's Hypersaw uses a new and totally different algorithm to the classic saw wave of the Virus, with greater anti-aliasing properties at the high end, so if you use just one saw wave of the Hypersaw instead of the classic saw waveform it should sound considerably brighter.
A lot of people say how bright the Roland JP80x0 is, but I think this is also to do with the filters.
The Korg Radias is extremely bright, but it has a tendency to sound very digital and light-weight as a consequence.

A ribbon-controller or XY-Pad might be nice, too, please! Thanks!
