theres no one better then the other. they are all different.

the Nord have its own uniqe sound and in my opinion it is limited for what it can do, it was designed to be a "Lead" synth which it does very well. you could get very strong leads out of it, very nice bass (compared to other VA's) and LFO type of fx. for that use it is very good.
this is why im keeping my Nord 1.

The Blofeld will be far more versible, you could get almost any kind of sound out it, whenever it is Pads or Leads, Bass, FX .. it does very well. it has far more modulation/filters options then the Nord.

The Virus TI could do anything the Blofeld could with a change of sound (Waldorf vs Access). me personaly, i realy love the sound of Waldorf synths, this is why i keep using them & collecting them.. (sold my KC)

bottom line is, it realy depends on your needs and the sound that you like the most. if i would choose btw the Blofeld and Nord as my only synth i would defitely go with the Blofeld. you already got the TI with the (amazing) sherman, the TI cover alot of spots... i say go for the Nord, but FIRST look for YouTube videos of the synths youre after, see what "catches" your ear...

good luck thumbsup

ps- forget about the DiscoDSP..
