NYer: I fully agree... the Motif is fully dressed digitally. Also, the Motif was the first instrument that Yamaha released it's new OPT panels for voice editing to use with Sonar. They still haven't done that even for the 9000Pro. Heck, they haven't even released a generic XG voice editing OPT panel. Seems like a Motif and a QY700 combo might be more of a modern-technology-arranger than anything Yamaha is making in their arranger line.
