Could you make an Xpander emulation??

I think its better to emulate something which hasn't much overlaps with the existing products.
Maybe a Super Stringmachine vst which sounds like the original hardware in the 70ies. Most vsts I knows doesn't sound really like the original hardware Stringmachines and doesn't give THAT feeling from sound. I think u-he are able to do such thing. Maybe with a switch you can choose different models like Solina, Roland RS 505 and so on....and a FX battery in the chain like smallstone phaser and co.

There's a couple of Reaktor ensembles that emulate a Solina and Eminent, and they sound spot on.

As far as emulations go, I'll be honest: Then little things we did in Hive, such as "different envelope per voice" (neat trick in ShapeSeq section), extensive modifiers for each slot of the ModMatrix... these things excite me much more than "how spot on an emulation" is. I'd be more interested in something that has brutally good filters not ever built into vintage synths, paired with clever and modern possibilities. Hmmm, like Z3.

I wouldn't mind a museum project - Cats'n'stuff - but that's something I'd need to pass on to junior developers we might hire later on.

Don't get me wrong, emulations are great... but I'd rather have Z3, or the teased upcoming Hive features.

I must say I'd be thrilled to have Eurorack/Serge/Buchla inspired oscillators / filters / modulators / utilities in Z3, Bazille etc... though.
