Clavia Nord Modular G2/G2x v Access Virus Ti

[Newly Accessed]

Hello,
As someone who has a Virus TI and messed around a lot with Nord Modular G2 demo and originally narrowed my preferred synth to the Virus Ti and the Nord Modular G2x - I was wondering what people think of the Nord Modular G2/G2x as opposed to the Virus TI.
I personally love what the G2/G2x can do love the editor - but am not happy about a 3 octave keyboard - hence the G2x which is now almost impossible to find. I'm also not very fond of the look and design of the G2/G2x - it looks like a red box compared to the great looking Virus TI. The Virus control surface is also set up in a really clear way. The last major thing is the idea of only being able to edit a hardware synth through a computer - I do like the fact the Virus TI unlike the G2/G2x allows you to use both the synth itself and a computer.
| also think that Access seems to be a better company than Clavia in supporting users - for example the way Clavia does not support the Nord Modular G1 anymore.

I feel a bit stuck love the Virus TI but compared to the G2 demo even - I feel restricted - but according to what I've read on the Virus websites - only people with a deep knowledge of synthesis should attempt to use the G2/G2X.

I'll be very interested to hear what other people think.
