IMHO you'd be better off investing in a used ES8 or S90/S90 ES but the MO isn't something I'd bag either. Even if its at least half as good as the Motif ES it is already great.
In fact if my ES8 was stolen I'd probably pick up a MO as a replacement. I don't use half of its features (such as a sequencer and sampling) nor I really need to use all of its 128 voices. I'd be just as happy with the MO.
cheers,
