Last night I went to Sam Ash in King of Prussia, PA and after getting prices for the T2, the S90ES, and the Motif ES7 and comparing them to what my '06 church music budget will allow for a new keyboard, I ended up with the Motif ES7. I would have gone for the S90ES (it's one fabulous board and really beautiful in black), but I didn't need the 88 hammer action keys and wanted a sequencer. Now to learn how to operate this monster and then teach the basics to my worship band keyboard guy. I'm gonna need a lot of patience and grace.
I am very impressed with the voices on the Motif ES7 along with the hundreds of rhythms or patterns (or whatever they're called). I realize we will never delve totally into the depths of this keyboard, but I always tend to purchase equipment that will give me (or us) the potential of growing INTO it, rather than get something which we will grow OUT OF and wish we had more. This board is going to have to serve us well for years to come. Thanks to all of you who have guided me towards making the final decision. Even tho I did not make the purchase some of you suggested, you still were a valuable resource. BTW, I personally own a PSR3000 and we have used it once in a while because it has such great voices, too. But I like to keep it at home where I have access to it, and the Motif will more than replace it in the voice department. The strings and MegaVoices on the Motif are my favorite. However, I miss the "Sweet Soprano Sax" which the PSR3000 has. As far as I could tell, it's not on the Motif (at least not by the same name). Sorry for my rambling. I think I'll close by saying that over the years I have thouroughly enjoyed this forum and look forward to reading it every day.
