Thanks Rusty!
I think a lot of gear is amazing now days. Digitone is another great example, as many patches on it make it sound like a basic VST IMO. Which isn’t fair because if you start exploring it, it’s a very powerful synth (esp the voice layering and stealing). A lot of it comes down to spending time making the sounds you want to hear. In some cases we are the limitation and not the gear 
One area that the Iridum excels is giant pads, as it has 16 voices, stereo filters, and really nice built-in effects (esp the chorus and reverb).
In that Ambient1 track, I started with delivered patches and tweaked them. There are many patches on the Iridium that don’t do much for me, but there are also some that sound really great (like Waveformula by Howard Scarr). I marked the ones I like as favorites, but have not gone through all of them, and there are a ton of patches on it!
