TI Snow polyphony is fine. Definitely >10 voices unless you deliberately try to max it out (Grain Complex where it's not needed, long reverb and release tails, 8x unison etc.). More like >20 with sensibly programmed patches and close to double that with really simple ones. If you have some good effects, you don't even need to use the Virus's built-in reverb (though it sounds excellent).
My only concern is that you won't be happy with the Virus either. You've already tried some of the very best virtual analog plug-ins available. If you can't get good Electro/Prog/Trance patches (which is basically what those plug-ins were made for) out of them, I don't see how you could succeed with the Virus. Lots of producers use the plug-ins you mentioned to produce very "professional" sounding records.
