Depends on how well they are emulated. Had a look a the source code. As far as I can tell (this is really among the least readable code ever seen), all models are based on a common set of 'operators', all using the same oscillators, envelopes, filters, etc. I didn't find anything model specific, e.g. a Moog or ARP filter. All the effort seems directed at having a GUI that looks like the real thing, not at emulating the actual sound. So I suspect that something like Yoshimi will provide a much more interesting choice of sounds.
