Your dealer isn't quite accuarate about the sale of the Motif... Maybe (he) himself is not selling a great number of Motifs... The Motif is quite popular. As far as the Tyros having the same sounds, that's partially true. The Motif has sounds that were taken from the 9000 Pro which are sounds like the sweet voices.. As far as the synth sounds go, I don't think Yamahah has included these sounds on the Tyros. If you can find one to try I suggest you listen to the synth sounds on the Motif. Don't get me wrong because the Tyros sounds great, but both keyboards I guess have their good and bad sounds. If you want a good run down on the Motif check with Bluezplayer. He uses this board.
