I own all of those and can't remember the last time I used any of them, because for me HALion7 blows all of them away and is much more powerful and has many more options and the synth itself is far easier to useStill, no match for Falcon, Alchemy, Avenger 2 etc.
This is especially true with the FM Synthesis options in HALion7 that are amazing and in Falcon are a joke
The sample and synthesis engine inside of HALion7 is far superior to that of Falcon and it's 100X more pleasant to use
Once you get used to how HALion7 is laid out and what you can do with it, especially when paired with the Note Expressions that are part of Cubase it's unrivaled, double so if you are into FM especially classic Yamaha/John Chowning style FM
I also enjoy the spectral oscillators inside of HALion7 can't do that in Falcon
Then you get the super simple workflow of turning samples into Wavetables
So to recap, when it comes to actual synthesis, the FM in HALion7 blows the others away, the Spectral Synthesis options blows the others away and the ease of use when it comes to actually making samples, actually making wavetables, actually using granular as a Synthesis tool is stunning and light-years better than the ones you mentioned
Having said that if you judge a synth by more esoteric modulation options perhaps you won't find them in HALion7. But I have to say I have yet to run into any modulation situation I wanted to do inside of HALion7 I couldn't pull off rather easily, my guess is not many people have
