    I've heard all the VSTs, nothing to write home about in my opinion. Even bought a black corporation xerxes and it sounded fantastic in and of itself. But nothing can raise the hair on your neck like the real thing...my god what a gem!!

      Over this weekend, I spent far too many hours playing with the Cherry Audio VST version and have been blown away with this lively beast. I have no reference for how authentic the CA sound is to the hardware, but given their previous soft synths, it probably good enough for mpst of us poor mortals. The patching is just magical.
