Mike,
Thanks for the response. I did buy an S88 yesterday though. While the Mo has quite a bit better specs. I thought the Ro had some very cool features that the Mo doesn't.

My initial short review at this point is: The concert grand is one of the top 3 I've ever heard, the strings are superb. Acoustic guitars fair, ( I have the Tyros to supplement this though as well as the sweet and live sounds)I think it has more bread & butter sounds than the Mo, which will be more usable in my work.

The user interface is a breeze, very easy to use.

The poly is still yet to be seen if it's going to be a problem for me or not. On the original Mo I had it could be. So I'll see.

In short I decided on this over the Mo for a few basic reasons.
User interface, better screen, different features and different sound palette from Yamaha and Rolands expansion card assortment. I tried some of Yammy's and my Trition Rack too, I don't like either of them at all for my tastes.
