andy .........yamaha just introduced the new S08 ..........$1199.99 you may want to check it out .

QS8.1 vs S80 ?

good thing about the QS8.1 is that it is not ass long as the S80 . QS8.1 can fit on back seat of car . There are more sounds and expansion for the QS8.1 as well .

The S80 has a better feel IMO than the QS8.1 . QS8.1 is a good value ! If you have any other questions call me at Guitar Center 410-821-5200 or email ketronguy@yahoo.com sincerely .....dano
