If next year's uplifting trance sounds radically different for some reason, you have to buy a new Nexus expansion; with the Virus, you just learn to program.
Which you should anyway. The knobs aren't just there for decorative purposes; it's just that if you don't use them you've bought yourself an incredibly expensive paperweight. Any arguments about "but you're supposed to learn to program, it's what we do!" are moot when you can score a string of nice tracks using just the presets.
Thing is, so can anyone else, since you're not the only one buying. Resale value depends on what conditions they put on resale; can you transfer licenses? If not, then resale value is zero.
If you want software to augment the things the Virus doesn't do, consider Atmosphere.
