     Yes! I cast my vote for the 2040 also. Regarless of design philosophy 
     it has a sound that stimulates much pleasure in the analog 
     synthesist's ear. It also cascades well in multi-chip all-pass designs 
     to make great-sounding phase shifters.

To some extend, at least. That's what a 3080-based VCF would do also. 
Things become much more interesting if you overdrive the 2040 so hard 
that the *output* distortion comes into play. (i.e. if you use it 
outside
the +/-1V signal range which was suggested in the data sheet.)

Very well put. Please, if you have any chance to do it, resurrect the 
SSM2040.
Building a *clean* filter may have been difficult back then, but today 
it's much more
difficult to reproduce the "character" of a filter like the 2040.
