Reply to Hardware Synths

I've been fascinated with hardware synths lately and have been reading and viewing lots of reviews on different products. Instead of adding another plug-in synth to my tools, I'm believeing that going the hardware route will be a better choice. I will be using Logic Pro as my DAW to record the sounds of the hardware synth.

I've been comparing the Sub Phatty, Minitaur, Analog 4, Minibrute, and Bass Station II. I've seen quite a few videos that really bring out the dub sounds of the Analog 4. Although I don't quite understand if the Analog 4 will be the better choice for me since most are using the Analog 4 as a standalone production tool without a DAW. What are your guys' thoughts?
