A VSTi as well might be free; if not now maybe 2008

On some instruments the GUI indeed helps to understand the signalflow
in your synth better than your hardware can. It may sound different.
It may give you more voices more multitimbrality and therefor less
mixdowns longer control.

I do not think you're too conservative. I got lots of hardware synths
here around, computers and soundcards. And though it finally looks
like there is no virtual AN1x at all, I'd give it a try to find out.
Not to replace the hardware because it cannot.
And I have to agree software instruments really make most sense when
it comes too MOOG Modular e.g.
btw: maybe you`ll find this one interesting:
