I have a Tyros 3 and a Motif XF6. Since getting the Motif I no longer use styles for my compositions because the Motif in general sounds better ( more Lively ) especially the Drums. I originally paid $3K for the T3. I've thought about selling it but am held captive by the SA and SA2 Voices for Tenor Sax, Jazz Trumpet, Classical Guitar, Nylon Guitar, Classical Flute, Harmonica. I just cannot get close to those sounds on the Motif and I haven't yet heard their equal on other Arrangers. But I have to say while those specific voices are wonderful by themselves the overall sound of the Motif is much better. I will give some consideration to the BK-9 as a replacement for the T3 when more demos are available.
