There is a ton of crossover in all subtractive analog synths, real or virtual, and you can probably get 90% to most A4 sounds, with most virtual analog synths plugins and probably even non-analog virtual synths (thinking Massive or Serum) using an analog waveform on its osc.
The A4 itself can get 90% to a Juno, or Moog, or whatever.
It’s always that last 10% that makes all the difference though isn’t it?

To be honest I’m not a analogue snob in the least. I don’t think analogue is the B-all. I just keep coming back to those A4 sounds I hear on youtube, even in shitty mp3/youtube quality they sound great.
I’ve used loads of synths over the last 20 years. Started out with an Emu Proteus 2000 (remember those?), then added a Virus B rack. Neither were analogue and both were great synths for what they did - and what I did at the time.
Other synths that have been and gone over the years are a JP8000 which I wasn’t too keen on, a Juno 106 (loved that synth, especially the string and pads, one of the only synths I wish I’d never sold), Korg MS2000 (actually quite liked that too to mess around with and it was nowhere near analogue), Yamaha DX200 which I didn’t like too much, just sat on a shelf until I sold it, MFB Synthlite 2 (another one I loved, and it was dead cheap, shouldn’t have sold it), Alesis Micron (pretty cool, but nothing to write home about) and finally a Virus TI Polar which I wasn’t that fussed about, it was a bit clean and brash for me.
So out of all of those, only the Juno and MFB were analogue - although funnily they were my two favourites.
Also had loads of samplers - MPC I didn’t get on with, too difficult to program, Akai Z4 wasn’t too keen on, Emu 6400 Ultra which I loved the sound of (again shouldn’t have sold it), MV8800 which I loved (again shouldn’t have sold it), and finally an Octatrack.
This sounds a lot, but it has been over 20 years! Can you see any patterns, haha 
I’ve never been fussed about getting a Moog or anything like that, but I did always want an Oberheim.
I guess it’s what different people look for in a synth. Nowadays I’m definitely not after in-your-face resonant screaming supersaw sounds. I like deep mellow complex evolving sounds, from strings to shimmering pads and deep basses… but I do like resonant blippy sequences
For house and techno, what I produce and release normally, I’ll probably just stick to the computer (well I guess it depends on what I end with). But I’m getting a little bit bored of making just house and techno and I’m looking for something with character to try my hand at futuristic soundtrack type music - just for fun, to do something different than I normally do.
