Dune2 is an interesting synth, I love how they managed to pack such a deep and flexible engine into a very straightforward GUI. It pretty much could be my choise as the only synth for ambient/downtempo music. But as I'm currently making psytrance, my desert-island synth would be Spire, it has more agressive/edgy character compared to Dune and is actualy more deep than meets the eye.
I have no experience with Arturia or OPX synths abut afaik they are more of analogue-emulating kind, I'd say they should be complementary to Virus rather than replace it.
