Keyskitten,
The only thing I have to disagree with is your comparison between the 740 and Motif.. I've played both as well, and I honestly think the Motif beats the 740 hands down "especially" in the acoustic department.. The EP's on the Motif are awsome, and are a great deal better than the 740. Did you really dig into the guitar sounds of the motif??? The velocity curves on those were awsome, and quite realistic. I do agree that the 740 sounds good, and can hold it's own on stage, but in terms of "sample" quality the Motif has the edge.
