You can get an R3 and TI Snow and get most of the capability of Radias and Virus TI for less than the price of the TI alone.

The radias has the advantage of pcm samples. I've made some nice sounding string patches with it, both realistic and mellotron sounding. And for playing on stage, the radias just looks cooler

Yes, the Radias looks cool. But the EMX-1, ESX-1, and KP3 look cooler at lower prices, although if price is no object, adding a Radias to them would be a nice match. That's probably more knobs and LEDs per inch than anything else besides the monome or Tenori-On.

What's your budget? The Radias is less than half the price of the Virus.

Rather than either of those for symphonic rock, I'd be looking into a workstation keyboard like Korg M50 or M3, Yamaha Motif or MO, Roland Fantom or Juno G/Stage.
