I just came back from visiting a friend who works in a major music store, plays professionally and does studio work. Like me, he has relied on Kurzweil keyboards for a long time. He says he is now using Motif's exclusively and all of his other keyboards are gathering dust. We talked about this a lot and agreed that neither of us really cared much for Yamaha synths after the DX-7 of the 80's until now. We both really like the Motif over anything made by Korg or Roland currently. For what it's worth...
