Thanks for your opinion!

I don't know why you would want something new, you already have so much covered in terms of synthesizers.

It really boils down to what kind of music your intending to make. If you like analog style sounds like the Arturia stuff, then DIVA is the right choice and it compliments Zebra quite nicely. It covers alot of territory that the Arturia stuff doesnt such as the MS20, Junos & SH101 stuff

If you want digital style stuff Synthmaster seems pretty good, but you already own Massive, FM8, Reaktor, Zebra, Absynth & the arturia prophet VS clone. If you produce Dubstep stuff, then Synthmaster would be a great addition to what you already own.

Sylenth is ok if you want cheesy trance sounds that are reminiscent of the earlier access virus sounds. IMO Sylenth isnt as warm sounding as DIVA though, but then again I'm comparing a old synthesizer against cutting edge stuff. If you use lots of synthesizers in your track and do lots of post processing on them, sylenth has low CPU usage and might be a good one to go for.

I personally wouldnt buy Sylenth, because the developer doesnt really talk much about updates or development. Actually the developer is pretty quiet compared to top notch support like UHE.

My Thoughts on what you picked out.

Best support of the bunch? UHE wins hands down.

most technologically advanced ? DIVA hands down

Least CPU needed? Sylenth

Most CPU Needed? DIVA (However if you have a Intel i5 or i7 you can get 4-5 instances running just fine)

Easiest to use? Sylenth

Most convincing Virtual Analog synth? DIVA

Most synthesis styles packed in one synth? Synthmaster

Most difficult to use? Synthmaster

DIVA but demo ACE it's amazing with a decent reverb added and a few other effects.

You can have every type of instrument but if you don't have DIVA or ACE you dont have the best sounding synths.

yeah i love S1 but it's not the go-to for a 'warm full sound'... diva, or synthmaster would do that better...

All the examples I heard of synthmaster were pretty digital.

Yes, ACE is quite amazing imho. Still my favourite u-he synth.. Hoping for an ACE XL version in the not too distant future. And Bazille final too of course. I'm a sucker for the Berlin Modular stuff I guess

For a full and warm sound, this selection is IMO not complete. Add Fxpansion to the list and we have something for a recommendation

Diva is great but not very versatile and can use quickly a lot of CPU but in this selection I voted for Diva because it's the best option.

[Edit]
Btw. I don't recommend Sylenth anymore. It seems there is not much interest from the developer for updates, improvements etc. I think this synth is dead.

From your list, my opinion would be that DIVA would be the best option unless you're looking for huge supersaws drenched in effects (not saying that's a bad thing).

Zebra is my main synth plugin. The sound is amazing. And it is very very very versatile. I wanted to buy Diva, but I decided to buy Oxium for it's hands on approach. That could be an other option.
