not really answering your question but i think your solution has less to do with the synths and more to do with your mixing. The actual question is fullest synth in a mix and is really dependent on the other elements. People that use the word fat and full don't understand that those are the synths that are the hardest to actually fit in the mix and are the synths you end up having to carve away with eq to make it fit, you will realise you don't need a full synth to have it sounding full in a mix.

I agree.
It's nice to have a phat sounding synth, I prefer Trilogy for my basslines, but all of what you say is true.
sorry if what I said undermined the prevailing attitude among rookie producers ,of which i assume you belong, that blame the lack of fullness on the synth which invariably generates silly threads that mirror the wonderful yet absurd movies that have a plot around the search for the holy grail(Indiana Jones) except in this case it is concerning a synth. Learn to stop sucking and phatness won't be an issue.

Gladiator is another fun synth, it IS capable of making great sounds, but I don't like HCM synthesis because I never took the time to understand it. So naturally I'm ignorant here.
Then, check out the following video (9:20 in length). It does a very good job of explaining the basics of HCM and you'll very quickly see how powerful and deep it is.
