The Motif XS is a totally different animal then a Tyros 3. I have both and use the Motif 90% of the time for creation of NEW music. We use the Tyros to recreate cover songs as it has no peer as a time saver in that regard.

The Motif has style but only 4 parts which is pretty much representative of a five piece band with the player the 5th wheel.

Younger SERIOUS players are workstation oriented. Very young beginners seem to prefer the less expensive 413 and PSR550.

The only voices I use consistently from the T3 are the SA 2 voices, The rest of the voices are more than covered by the XS.
