I wouldn't limit your search for soft-synths to those which attempt to emulate a vintage synth...some of those are good, but some of the softies are excellent in their own right. Absynth, Zebra, Albino, not to even mention the drum offerings. If you haven't checked out Drumkit from Hell Superior, fxPansion's BFD, Linplug's NNIV, Stylus RMX, or Battery, you're seriously missing out. Also, check out Crystal, everyone should have it (it's free, after all, and can be made to sound great). Additionally, a soft-sampler like Mach5, Sampletank, or Kontakt will tear your old ROMpler a new asshole....
