Indigo... I've heard great things. I've heard that the vocoder is right up there close to the Korg MS2000 too.
Virus all the way. I have a "b" and I love it.
It has been almost 2 years now and I've never had any regret or problem. Deep sound, rich, great polyphony (witht he latest software update: 24!), true multitimbrality (16 separate channels with a dif. instrument on each), great response... what else can I say
the Q is probably nice too, but I love my virus so I voted.

I own a virus b and it also has unison mode. In fact you can crank the unison up to 16 if you like and use 16 different voices to drive the same patch. Talk about a fat sound!

hmm... Though:
when you have a supernova II with 44 voices and 6 saws+2 ring mods+1 noisegenerator per voice, I see no reason for unison.

Q-rack
I have a Q-rack and it's IMO the best VA-synthesizer so far with almost unlimited sonic possibilities.
The virus B is one of the most popular VA-synths probably since it contains alot of good presets that the Q (not currently) have.
My opinion is that if you know how to create sounds and want to explore new dimentions the go for the Q-rack (it has a really good step seq also).
If you want to quickly start making music with your new synth and don't want to experiment and fiddling with stuff like fm and modifiers the virus B is for you.
Remember also that the soundcharacter is different for these two monsters. It all depends on what kind of music you make.
Also the Q can only have fx on the 4 first instruments of a multi while the virus b can have fx on all parts... but the we have the discussion on how good the fx are and I claim the Q to have better!
The Q isn't finished yet, OS 3.0 will be released probably next week adding lots of features like new reverb and so... waldorf will continue developing it and ading user wanted features for a long time.
So... don't read the specs of the machines... donload the demo mp3s to get a picture of the soundcharacter... the try them out! Tweak the knobs and don't let any "impressive store presets" fool you...
My advice is the Q but it's up to you
Best Wishes!

both excellent synths from 2 of the best companies in the music industry. They both have strong support as far as OS upgrades and both have large user communities with very active mailing lists for user to user support.
As far as sound is concerned I will agree with the above poster that it is a matter of taste. These are both very versatile synths but each has distinct character.
My best advice is to get to a store that has them both on display and try them out.
I do prefer the Q though to answer your question.
enjoy whichever you choose!
