I still have my Motif and am for the most part loving it. I agree with Terry and also the assessments of " The Pro " and starkeeper. All have their strengths, bur Triton is thought of more as being stronger than the Motif for creating Synth and dance music. That is probably true until you add the analog modeling board to the Motif. That plug in has some nasty synth sounds on it and with it the Motif becomes even better than it was ( and it certainly isn;t bad ) for synth and dance music.

For acoustic sounds, especially a good all around acoustic piano and a very good "Rhodes" emulation, the Motif is a winner.

Motif support is superb, as Terry states.

I like the Triton series and also the Fantom just fine by the way, and it was by no means an easy choice when I decided between them and the Motif. In the end, I just liked the Mo a little better. Depending on what you want to do, any of the three are good boards, and as was said before, it's probably best to try them all out before making a decision
