Hi!
Yes, an S90 is indeed a great workstation. It is my second favorite keyboard of today. I own an ES8 (which is like a bigger brother of an S90( and it is fantastic to work with. I find that I use it more as a controller though. It's on board sounds come in handy on occasion when I'm jamming or just messing with ideas. However, I'd rather use Spectrasonics "Ivory" with it's gigs and gigs of piano sounds streaming directly from the hard drive than load a fraction of that on my Motif just to then deal with headaches of storing whatever I've loaded or setting up autoload functions so the MOtif will load the same sample next time I power it up. With software you get higher quality. You get more to mess with. It stores it all as a part of a song and there is no external devices to worry about or setup.

This kind of takes me back to a few "Software vs Hardware" discussions that happened in this forum. YOu might want to do a search on that.
