it is a tough choice indeed Steevio.
is the sound a lot different from one another?
my lack of experience on synths make it hard to decide between versatility or 100% analog sound (with thos little limitations)
invariably my analogue synths sound better than VA's but ive only have nords and a virus b to compare.
the argument between analogue and digital becomes meaningless if you are using them on a day to day basis, the difference in sound is obvious, but i find it easier to get interesting percussive sounds out of my nords, that is mainly down to the architecture, but i usually put the nord sounds through analogue filters to sweeten them up, although sometimes i use it straight, its a good quality synth.
a combination of analogue and VAs works for me, but if the nord archictecture was available on an analogue synth, i'd buy it straight away and ditch VAs for good.
if you want to hear some nord sounds, you could listen to my myspace, theres lots of nord all over the tracks on there, especially the older ones.
almost all the percussion on all of it is Nord, and chord sounds and bass on some of the tracks.

edit,
a good producer friend of mine is a fellow Nord abuser and he is buying a tetra soon, so i'll ask him how they compare for you.
