That's not true. The fact that the TI Desktop has >80 voices at its disposal and the Snow has >50 means literally just that - the TI desktop has considerably more voices available.

For example, if you only used 4 timbres on the TI Desktop (similar to what is available on the Snow) you will have more polyphony than the Snow, meaning you can play longer unison chords, longer drones, etc. for those same four timbres, than on the Snow.

Rarely, if ever, would you use 16 timbres on a TI. Not even close to that. You just don't need that many Virus parts in a song, unless you're using multiple part layering (several timbres playing the same part) and intelligently mixing them. It'd sound too busy, and you'd most likely want flavours from other synths, not just all Virus.
