Yeah I know Clarke just happens to have his sound .

To tell you the truth I'm not even sure how much I would use the preset styles anyway , most probably wouldn't fit with what I would like to do .

I would be very happy with an instrument that can give me accoustic sounds but also the trademark synth sounds which I guess a synth/workstation might be better for .

As far as speakers for a synth/workstation are concerned , could I just go out and buy some PC speakers of my choice or does one need special speakers for these units ?

Also the smart Card one can buy for storage ( at least for the Motifs) are these the same smart cards used for Digital Cameras or special ones designed just for these workstations ?

Oh and thanks again for the model recommendations .
