Arbaz....I did not compare them side by side. I have played the Triton many times and own a PA80. As far as which one 'SOUNDS' better? We go down that same road we all have gone down before on this forum. You have folks who love Korg, those that love Yamaha, people crazy for Roland...etc. The Motif, I think, may be more head to head competition for the Karma than the Triton? My personal oppinion is I favor the Yamaha Piano, Reed, and Brass sounds.
