    JV-1080/2080/1010 with a favourite expansion or two is still an excellent source of sound today in 2021. Great-sounding outputs: lush, thick, warm and if you make full productions you'll often find the sounds sitting nicely in a mix without too much messing about. Very affordable these days on the used markets.
