Which would you choose and why? I just bought a Virus KC, but I am thinking of returning it to get a Roland Fantom because I already have a Nord Lead 2

Its like comparing apples and oranges.... Synth vs rompler.... do you need a external sequencer? Do you need all the bells and whistles of the fantom.. Do you even need the virus since you have the nord lead 2? Id say look into other gear.. Analog mixer/drum machine/sampler/software/vintage.....

Well here is what my studio is like

Virus KC Synth Keyboard
Nord Lead 2 Synth Keyboard
Oxygen 8 Midi Controller
Roland HPD - 15 Hand Percussion Drum
RME Multiface Sound Card
KRK V8 Series 2 Monitors

All running through a G4 Powerbook w/20 inch Apple Cinema Display
- Logic Pro 6
- Reason 2.5
- Native Instruments Komplete 2

looks like u have a pretty nice setup there hehe... anyways.. i would definately not get the roland fantom... u dont need it at all since ur using ur computer.. u dont need all that crap.. and i use crap because.. well.. u would be getting a lot of duplicate features since u use logic on ur comp... it would make best sense to just stick with what u have right now. or if u want some money.. return the virus kc.. get a desktop virus c.. saves u about 500 bucks or whatever it is now.. and just use ur nord lead 2 as a midi controller for the desktop virus... but yeah.. i guess that is all i can say bout it... anyways.. good luck w/ ur setup and all
