Comments about Arturia V Collection 2.0 - Virtual Synthesizer Anthology:
This is a really great upgrade of 7 classic synthesizers... each one a faithful reproduction of the original but with added features such as complex modulation, step sequencers and the like. The included sound banks are very reasonable and the original sounds are very faithful if not spot on - Arturia has done an excellent job here. One really nice idea is to load several of these up in a VST host such as "stacking" 3 Jupiter 8's up with slightly different programs for a very fat live sound. Although the cost of the collection seems high remember that each VST is very affordable since there are 7 in the set. On a modern multicore CPU there is plenty of power to play many copies of each VST.
