Dan O,

You are so right! I was so pissed to see the value of my almost new Motif just drop $600 - $700 in less than a year when Motif ES came out. I decided that I would never buy a Yamaha board again, but as you said ALL the major companies are doing the same thing.

Why don't they come out with completely new name for their new products?? Atleast it wouldn't make the resale value of our investment just drop right away.
