I found that Saurus could sound both very warm and "analog like" or digital and harsh which is both great IMO.
It's also great to work with a synth where i don't always have to fear that i max out my CPU when playing many notes at once or using the Unison.

There is analog harsh and digital harsh... You can make sounds on an analog synth that are sharp and piercing and even hurt the ears, but that digital harsh from aliasing is different and I don't personally find it appealing at all.
I also find a synth that uses low CPU enjoyable cause one simply does not have to worry about it. The thing is, the dichotomy is false. There is no reason one cannot have both. Have a regular mode as is for low cpu which is good enough for many sounds. Then have a high cpu setting for when you want to push the synth and for those who value that extra sound quality.
I quite like the featureset of Saurus. I also like its basic character. I wouldn't still be trying the demo if I didn't. But I am just not enthusiastically happy with the sound quality. I can hear that it is a low cpu synth. A few years ago I would have just accepted that as how it is, but now I expect more and have the cpu to handle it and so it just kinda bugs me to have to settle for that.
