I agree. I get different things from both. Even though they are close in a lot of ways, I don't expect my CS80V to be exactly like a real CS80, or the Pro53 to be an exact replica of the Prophet 5. I appreciate each module for what it can do instead.
Sometimes I appreciate being able to turn a piece of hardware on, and not having to fiddle with a mouse. Other times, I'm looking for a better sampleset, or an exotic analogue / hybrid sound that my hardware won't give me. Both have their place in my studio.
I've used my software synth setup live several times, with no issues or crashes to date.
