Regardless, bought an RD-8 back in May as a birthday gift to myself and am loving it. While I'll agree that not all their synths are perfect clones, it's nice to see a company making analog hardware affordable to the masses. Will be ordering an RD-6 as soon as I'm able, as I love the sound of the 606 and don't want to pay the price of an original. Once they move into polysynths, I'm bound to pick up one or two. May also end up getting a TD-3

The whole digi vs analogue is kinda silly at the moment, there are plusses and minuses for both sides, it's all just subjective. However, I personally feel pretty strongly about how people implement their chosen sound sources. Keeping all sound sources in one place, i.e. the DAW, sounds stale, to sound interesting and vibrant, things need to have noise, artifacts, things that you get with recoring things from external sources. This is what builds up ambience and glue that ultimately gets you to a place where BoC resides. It's harder to mix recorded equipment but the sound is so much more satisfying. Anyone can mix perfect clear sounds and samples within the software realm, it's all ready to go, you place, pan it and level it and you're a self proclaimed producer.
For me, hardware is the only way I have fun and to get the timbres I want, I have no fun on the computer side of things so the computer is just a modern pseudo tape machine to capture my jams but I can edit and arrange afterwards which is a big benefit for quality control.
Anyway, to answer your question. If you're really wanting to go the hardware route, you're lucky, it couldn't be better out there than right now. Out of the volcas, the keys will get you closer to what you want but will be far more limited than the FM. They are two totally different approaches and sounds.
