Lot's of CPU power (DSP actually), a bunch of good sounding synths, ultra low latency and a flexible rig including mixer, FX ...
Looks interesting, although $4k and then I have to buy plugins is quite steep. Plus my lack of familiarity with the product -- I might be inclined to look at Powercore first just to get the Virus plugin.

I just prefer real knobs rather than mouse clicks.
I agree the overall control surface is nice. In my case, tweaking them as I played didn't do me a lot of good because of the other issues I mentioned, but as far as the knob layout, the feel of them, etc I wish all synths were like the Virus. Also, the Virus Control VST user interface is great... its just that with FLStudio on 64-bit Windows, using VC was impractical for me. Granted, if I was on 32bit Cubase I probably would not have had as many issues.

Sad really, I wanted to make it work from so many angles.
