Virus TI2 or Arturia Origin?

I probably should give a little more info as well as it is a pretty opened
question.  The fundamental problem is that I don't really need anything in
my studio.  I have a substantial pile of vintage synths so I don't need an
emulation, I can always turn on the real thing.  I also have a large Serge
and a large Modcan setup so I have access to crazy modular sounds.  I
owned a Virus TI Polar briefly but I just didn't have a good place to put
it in my studio.  I sold it with the intent of replacing it with the TI2
desktop.  My impression on the Virus was that it was a synth I would
probably always complain about but would also let me get a bunch of work
done.  There is no doubt it is a workman's type synth.  The problem with
having cash in my gear account is that if I don't spend it, it will go
towards fixing the car, the house, or something and basically represent a
net loss to my gear pile.  I have no trouble selling gear to fund gear but
adding cash from the household pool to the studio is a much more difficult
matter (since wife and son trump studio "expenses").
