If I'm not mistaken, since I haven't used my microKorg for some time, the amount of distortion is depending on the Mixer/Filter Input Level and since they share about the same synthesis eninge the MS2000 should react the same way. I used it as Controller Keyboard but the little keys aren't quite resistant, so I had to replace the keyboard part after about a year.
When it comes Blofeld, it has more flexible routable filters, 4 envelopes and faster LFOs than the Virus TI. Sync Master is Oscillator 3 and Ringmod is between Oscillator 1+2, what is more flexible since it allows interesting Sync/Ringmod combination that can't be done when everything (FM/Ringmod and Sync) is placed between Oscillator 1+2.
Soundwise the filters are a bit harder, less charming than the Virus ones and it needs a bit work to soften the Sound.
I'm currentl having a Blofeld at my disosal, since a did a few sounds for a friend and a little single Sound Demo using those sounds.

When it comes to the desktop version, it might make sense waiting for the Sample Expansion, since Waldorf announced that the needed activation key won't be free of charge.
