OK, here goes. First of all, FabFilter is well known for their very cool modulation routing - you just click a source, the available destinations light up, and you drag to the one you want and set the level. FF is also well known for their incredibly smooth filters. They also come with a ton of high quality presets, if that's your thing, but all of their plugins are very deep.
Twin 2 - incredible synth. I spent a few hours exploring it this evening and it has a very cool semi-modular layout. Looking at the GUI below, you'll see that the main window houses (L to R) the Osc's, filters, and FX. Clicking on the various controls will reveal additional parameters (it's pretty cool - watch the video). The bottom window is where you add modulators and you assign them as I described above (click/drag). I think it has 25 modulation slots - you only add what you need and the bottom window is scrollable from side-to-side, keeping the GUI pretty uncluttered even when you have some very complex modulation assignments. One of the seemingly coolest modulation parameters on this synth is the XLFO, which is like a combination of a standard LFO and step sequencer that can be used to create sequences and complex arpeggiations (no dedicated arp on this synth). This synth is surprisingly deep.
