Used as a DXI or VST plug-in:

Given two different analog softsynths that have the same number of oscillators, waveforms, lfo's, etc then what's the big differences ?

The UI? The presets? The effects (which may be moot as a plug-in)?

Are they pretty-much interchangeable given the same settings - ie for the same settings, I'd get the same thing out of dreamstation or simsynth as I would out of (standalone) Soundforum ?

Before I go download a lot of freeware, shareware, and trial softsynths, or purchase a bunch of software, if there's not that much difference then what is the point, other than finding a UI I like ?
