Squeak,
I sell both the Korg Tritons and the Yamaha Motifs. Yamaha has recently dropped the price of the Motif 8 by $200.00 instead of making you mail in a rebate slip and wait for your money and the price of the Motif 6 and motif 7 are already hundreds of dollars less than the Triton Classics. A Triton classic 61 key has a List price of $2995.00 and the Motif 6 has a list price of $2250.00 and the Tritonpro (76 key) has a list price of $3495.00 and the Motif 7 is $2795.00 as a list price. So, Korg felt it neccessary to give the rebates and free stuff to compete with the Motif's pricing. The Le Korgs are less than the Motif prices but do not include a sampler unless you add it as an option and the Le's don't have as many effects or knobs as either the Triton Classics, Studios or Motifs.
